If I have not mentioned this earlier, I’m honored to be Co-Chair of NAMICon 2024 which is not taking place on Denver, Colorado. Tonight, I enjoyed the opportunity to meet Patrick Kennedy at a special reception. He is at our convention to tell us about his new book, Profiles In Mental Health Courage which shares personal stories about mental health in America. Thank you for joining us at NAMICon 2024. Former Congressman Kennedy has been a strong voice advocating for mental health parity and equitable mental health care in America. #namicon2024 #nami #profilesinmentalhealthcourage #patrickkennedy
