Meet the Speaker: Stephanie Robertson, Director, NAMI will be joining the Chicago Summit on May 5

In this session, Stephanie will explore how community-informed, culturally responsive approaches can deepen understanding of mental health conditions and strengthen strategies that support both individual mental health and broader community wellbeing. Drawing from the work of NAMI’s CHEA Sites, select NAMI State Organizations and Affiliates dedicated to mental health equity, the presentation will highlight how partnership, storytelling, and community engagement can reduce stigma, increase awareness, and expand access to support. It will also invite participants to consider roles leaders and decision-makers can play in fostering more equitable and welcoming environments.
