NAMI on Campus High School (NCHS) Affiliate Experts Pilot Project 
As the NAMI on Campus High School (NCHS) Club program has grown over the past several years, NAMI CA has been thrilled to see the levels of local engagement also grow between affiliates and clubs. This year, we have several exciting initiatives underway to help grow the program even more, allowing us to reach new schools and youth in all areas of the state.
To do this, we need the help of a team of Affiliate NCHS Experts! We are seeking one affiliate leader from each of the 11 regions of the state to learn the ins and outs of NCHS and become the regional expert for this program. Deadline to apply for to be an Expert is September 7th. Click here for details.
NAMI CA Statewide Program Training Tentative Schedule
NAMI CA is excited to announce their Statewide Program Trainings for the 2018-2019 year. The dates below are tentative and may change. If your affiliate is interested in sending candidates to the trainings below, please contact the main contact staff overseeing the training. (information below). The staff member will provide you with the Statewide Training Application which will need to be turned back in to NAMI CA for the review process of candidates.
[NOTE: NAMI CA PEER-TO-PEER STATE TRAINING POSTPONE DUE TO NEW UPDATE:
NAMI CA Peer-to-Peer training is on hold right now because there is a new update for Peer to Peer, and we are postponing it to have our trainers updated to teach the new 2018 format. In order for our trainers to be trained to teach the 2018 format, they must do the mentor online training, teach the full 8 weeks course, and then take the trainer online training. We are hoping that our trainers will be updated in the meantime until November. The new location will be in Sacramento, CA. The new training format will require an online training and 1.5 days in-person training days rather than 3-days of in-person training. NAMI CA will cover lodging costs and partial travel reimbursement; travel details are yet to be finalized.
Everything is not yet finalized until, so please keep up to date with our NAMI newsletter for further notice. We will still be receiving Peer to Peer applications until October 1st, 2018. The training will accept up to 15 participants. All applications must be followed up with your local affiliate’s recommendation.
Thank you for understanding! We look forward to the new Peer-to-Peer 2018 format.
For any questions, please contact Thao at thao@namica.org.]
