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.
