Monthly Educational Forums
NAMI Eastside regularly hosts educational forums on meaningful topics for people who have been affected by mental illness. Each presentation is followed by a question and answer session with the speakers.
All are welcome. All presentations are FREE and open to the public.
Spread the word and come join us to learn something new and valuable!
We thank you for topic suggestions, your time, and talent to continue our educational forums! Feel free to contact us with your ideas.
