Upcoming NAMI Connections
Statewide Training

Connections is an ongoing group that is open to anyone at any point in their recovery, no registration fee, no cost. Groups meet for 90 minutes weekly work within a solid model to keep people focused in a positive recovery oriented direction.

The NAMI Connections training is going to be commencing in Seat-Tac Sept. 26-28. We need at least 3 people from your affiliate who would be a good fit for facilitators. All expenses will be provided, room, food and travel reimbursement. Attached at the bottom of this page is the general information sheet on Connections, the flyer with the dates, hotel (Sea-Tac Marriott), and also the application.
