The listening session and NAMI Smarts Training had 7 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. This activity paved the way for increased “presence” at LGBTQ+ – led and focused events and activities, supporting NAMI to “embed” itself into this community more.
