Annual Conference

NAMI PA would like to thank all who participated in our Annual Conference

We want to thank all who attended the Conference. This year’s theme was Promoting Health and Wellness: Managing Your Illness. This theme helped to form the basis for a broad range of educational workshops and general sessions.

We would also like to thank our Sponsors, Exhibitors and Advertisers who supported our efforts.

As we hoped, the NAMI Pennsylvania Annual Conference was truly an outstanding opportunity for learning and sharing. This was due to the informational and inspirational presentations by our speakers. These participants were an important contribution to the success of our Annual Conference.

We would also like to say a special thank you to all consumers, family members, providers and those who participated in this worthwhile conference. We believe that this program was an enriching and encouraging experience for all who attended.

See you next year!
