Reporting NAMI Education Program Data
Reporting the data collected from classes, support groups and trainings to the NAMI Data Collection Site is extremely important. Reporting helps NAMI California provide more data to obtain funding so that we can provide trainings for NAMI's Signature Programs. We understand that navigating the reporting site can be challenging, but we are here to help if any assistance is needed with navigating the Data Collection Site. If you have any questions or need any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact NAMI California at (916) 567-0163.

Ending the Silence In-Person Training September 2016
NAMI California is excited to announce that we will be hosting an In-Person
Ending the Silence (ETS)
Training in
September 2016 in Solano County, CA
. This training is perfect for affiliates that do not already offer the ETS program but are interested in providing it through their affiliate.
Ending the Silence is a 50-minute program designed for high school audiences and is typically presented in the freshman/sophomore health classes during the mental health portion of the curriculum. This transformational program is devoted to giving students an opportunity to learn about mental illness through an informative PowerPoint, short videos, and personal testimony. Through the presentation, students learn symptoms and indicators of mental illness, and are given ideas about how to help themselves, friends, or family members who may be in need of support.
If you are interested in participating in the ETS Training, please fill out and submit an ETS application by August 5, 2016 to Erik Villalobos, Education Coordinator, at
[email protected]
or you can submit the application by fax at (916) 567-1757. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Erik.
For affiliates that already offer the program, please contact Erik to find out how to participate in the online ETS e-Learning training.
