Clergy Seminar

NAMI Utah provides training to clergy members and general health and mental health providers.  Participants receive training on mental illness, ways to offer support to both the consumers and the families, and resources available in the community.

Each training is taught by a panel of family members, consumers, and professionals who cover:

• Professional Speaker - Brief descriptions of illnesses, prevalence, biological bases, dual diagnosis
• Specialist - Stigma as a barrier to treatment, myths and misconceptions of mental illness
• Family member or mental health consumer - The personal lived experience, predictable emotional reactions, how to help
• NAMI Representative - Treatment as a Biological/Psychological/ Sociological/Spiritual process, community resources
• Questions & answers
