Sharing and Learning at NAMI WI 2026
It was over eight hours’ driving each way to Appleton, WI from Fargo, ND! But it was worth the miles. The NAMI Wisconsin 2026 Conference did not disappoint. I learned so much from what smart people all over Wisconsin are doing to combat mental illness and support people and their families as they are going through it.
My talk was called Name the Intruder: A Practical Communication Strategy for Families Navigating Psychosis. I shared many stories from our own experience with severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI) in our home, and the amazing ways that my late husband and I re-learned how to communicate through it.
Thanks for visiting! I’m always building new content and programs, and I often have free communication resources and low-cost pilot programs to share. If you’d like to sign up for my mailing list below, I’ll send you an FYI when new tools and opportunities are ready.
