Yesterday I attended the 2008 Indiana NAMI Conference in Indianapolis. This is my first state NAMI conference, but it most certainly won't be my last. Over the years I have spent what seems like endless hours at conferences, seminars and training events. Honestly, this is the first one that I didn't want to end. The plenary speakers were wonderful, one of which gave the best presentation I have ever heard. The breakout sessions were well attended, informative and very beneficial.
And the meal, oh, the meal. For $18 (part of which was my membership renewal) we were well "snacked", well "displayed", well educated and very, very well fed. Earlier this year I attended a banquet, and for $29.95 I wasn't nearly as well fed as I was today. A great big "Thank You" to the people who make this possible.
Let me encourage you to join and attend on a regular basis a local support group. NAMI is the most recognized, and I highly recommend them. This group made it very clear that they care. Give them a chance. You won't be disappointed. Ciao for now.
