On the last Thursday
of every month at 7:00 PM, NAMI Athens holds meetings that feature
speakers, videos or slide shows about mental health-related issues.
In addition, NAMI organizes biannual conferences
on recovery featuring the wisdom and unique insight of recovered,
high-functioning mentally ill. The Athens area mental health entities
and schools/departments from both Ohio University and Hocking
College contribute financially. The day long conferences draw
audiences of between 125 and 150 which are comprised of recovered
/ recovering mentally ill, family members, health professionals,
and students in various health service and counseling disciplines.
CEU credit is given to professionals.
