The listening session and NAMI Smarts Training had 11 registrants. There were no guest speakers. The attendees included community members and NAMI supporters from across the state. The outcome of this training was to bring awareness to the diverse groups and the establishment of partnerships with community agencies that already serve the targeted groups, with the goal of collaborating to recruit more diverse populations. Additionally, NAMI CA staff participated in cultural competency training to enhance their ability to support underserved and underrepresented communities. Increase opportunities for those who identify as “LatinX” to share their story related to mental illness/mental health conditions, particularly in communities where Spanish is the primary language spoken, engage more LatinX men in NAMI activities.
