Having NAMI do registrations is a red flag for me in meeting our local needs. Can my NAMI State Organization or NAMI Affiliate handle registration on our own?
Before we commit to the program I want to make sure it’s the right thing for my State Organization or NAMI Affiliate to spend our limited time and resources on.
How will my State Organization or NAMI Affiliate share our experiences with NAMI Family & Friends as well as the online portal?
I have a program leader who’s completed the online training and is ready to teach. Is there anything else they need to do before teaching the seminar?
Can we purchase tablets for participants to use during the seminar?
Are Kindles the best device to use? What would NAMI recommend? Does it need to be in color?
Will there be a registration cutoff date for each seminar so we know how many attendees there will be and what supplies we'll need?
We need specific information for our grant reporting and are wondering how we'll get that?
