NAMI Conference The National Alliance On Mental Illness (NAMI) is a United States-based advocacy group originally founded as a grassroots group by family members of people diagnosed with mental illness. NAMI identifies its mission as being "dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness". NAMI offers classes and training for people living with mental illnesses, their families, community members, and professionals, including what is termed psycho-education, or education about mental illness
I had the honor of being a featured artist at NAMI's 2019 Raleigh conference. I showcased 8 of my pieces that all have deeper meanings involving mental illness. I had print outs explaining the meanings of my work whose text can all be found here on my website. |
