2020 CALL FOR ONLINE WORKSHOPS: Proposals Due 12/31/2020
Proposals Due 12/31/2020
NAMI Kansas is pleased to announce its 2020 - 2021 Online Workshop and Learning as we pivot from the preCovid-19 world to the new landscape of distancing and staying safe. While we had planned to host our 2020 NAMI Kansas Conference in Wichita this year, our new landscape of hosting gatherings, meetings, and training opportunities has prompted new ways of staying connected, engaging our members and supporters, and providing learning environments. Therefore, we are happy to announce our 2020-2021 Online NAMI Kansas Conversations on Mental Health monthly workshops.
NAMI Kansas is the statewide organization of the National Alliance on Mental Health. NAMI is a grassroots organization that provides education, support and advocacy for individuals who are living with a mental illness and their families. Our vision includes increasing our relevance to diverse constituencies within our communities and growing new partnerships at the state and local levels while expanding our organizational reach to unserved areas of the state.
NAMI Kansas will offer and host monthly workshops on the third Friday of each month, beginning July 17, 2020 through June 18, 2021, from 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm via GoToWebinar. Workshop opportunities are 60 minutes in length and will require a PowerPoint style presentation to help visually engage the participants. NAMI Kansas staff will navigate the online platform experience.
NAMI Kansas invites workshop proposals which help us stretch our vision and provide tools for taking the next steps consistent with our Conversations on Mental Health theme and our strategic roles and goals.
