NAMI Minnesota research dinner

Faculty from the University of Minnesota's Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences will present what they have learned about stress and well-being during the pandemic and the civil unrest.

This will be a chance to learn about stress responses and how they affect the brain and body. They will also discuss strategies that help us learn and grow from stressful events.

Mental health day on the hill

The Mental Health Legislative Network will hold its annual Mental Health Day on the Hill online this year on Thursday, March 11. Hundreds of people from around the state are expected to (virtually) join the event and share their views on mental health issues with legislators.

After the kick-off, online appointments with legislators will be hosted throughout the day for mental health advocates to discuss their views on critical mental health needs for the 2021 legislative session. Attendees will be matched up with legislators and other advocates from their district for an online discussion of mental health concerns.

​You don't have to know what you're doing--NAMI Minnesota will guide you!

For more information, contact Sam Smith at ssmith@namimn.org.
