NAMI Ask the Expert is Live in 3…2…1!

Jun 25, 2018

Join us on Friday, June 29 from 5:00–6:30 p.m. EST for our first-ever NAMI Ask the Expert Live broadcasting from the 2018 NAMI National Convention in New Orleans. “Improving Mental Health Care Through Inclusion and Compassion: Lessons from the Field” is available both for convention attendees or online users who register ahead.

You’ll hear presentations from a health care administrator, a medical school professor, a person with lived experience and a family member. Each will share their unique role in ensuring that people seeking mental health treatment are treated with respect, dignity and equality.

Some of the topics our panel will discuss include:

• Why it’s important for health care organizations to embrace the concept of working collaboratively with patients and their families.
• Why it’s important for medical professionals to understand the lived experience of their patients.
• Why we need to engage families in the treatment process.
• And any questions from the live audience and participants on the phone.
