A perennial NAMICon favorite, this session features NAMI National staff providing a recap of major federal developments in mental health policy and how NAMI continues to engage with federal policymakers.

Federal mental health policy is evolving rapidly, with significant implications for people with mental health conditions and their families. This session offers a clear overview of recent and pending federal policy updates affecting mental health services, funding, access and crisis response.

Participants will gain insight into key legislative and regulatory changes, understand how federal priorities are shaping NAMI’s advocacy and explore what these updates may mean for implementation at the state and local levels.
