About this Series
Join us for NAMI Vermont’s Community Conversation series, held on weekday evenings, once or twice per month from March through August 2026. Each session features a different topic related to mental health, wellness, education, and community connections.
No matter your background or connection to the subject area, these sessions offer valuable insights and actionable information in an open, honest, and welcoming environment. NAMI Vermont is proud to bring this important programming to Chittenden and Grand Isle Counties! We are grateful to the University of Vermont Medical Center Community Health Investment Fund for providing the financial support to make this series possible.
