As we edge closer to the end of 2013 I
wanted to be sure to thank you for the amazing work you’ve done this year and
let you know about some important things coming in 2014.
·
New store:
The NAMI Store will have
a new storefront through an outside vendor. You will notice that the
store looks different, but you don’t need to do anything differently to access
it; you will automatically be taken there from the www.nami.org/store link. The new storefront will contain
program manuals as well as all program promotional material.
o
The new
NAMI store will generally have a turnaround time of 24 hours and you will be
able to track your shipped items. Yes! Be thrilled! We are!
UPDATE: The new NAMI Store will not be available until sometime in
February.
·
New manuals: We are delighted to say that all 2014 program manuals will be
available in the new NAMI store using the same coupon codes.
o
All
manuals are scheduled to be released Jan 2
o
Updates
and edits have been made to incorporate DSM V changes to NAMI Family-to-Family,
NAMI Peer-to-Peer, NAMI Basics and NAMI Parents and Teachers as Allies
§
Important
changes have also been made to NAMI Family Support Group to increase clarity
and ease of training
§
Due to the
extensive changes that have been made to the NAMI Peer-to-Peer manuals this
year, no replacement pages for the program are available; instead, new manuals
can be purchased for mentors, trainers and program participants in 2014.
To alleviate the cost burden of purchasing these new materials we
suggest providing the 2014 manuals to mentors and trainers when you
re-order. You can use your 2013 manuals you’ve already purchased.
§
Summary of
page changes will be available on the respective program’s intranet pages Jan 2
§
The
updated policies will also be available on the NAMI Education Helpdesk
o
You can
continue to use USA Print and Copy if you choose, but you will also have a second option for manuals
·
Re-orientation for NAMI Family-to-Family, NAMI
Connection and Family Support Groups: NAMI will continue to make the
re-orientation webinars and knowledge assessments available to teachers and
state trainers in 2014, but it is up to the NAMI State Organizations to monitor
this process. Once teachers and trainers have completed the webinar and
assessment they can contact their NAMI Affiliate or NAMI State Organization to
obtain the newest version of the manual.
o
If you
have further questions, please contact the NAMI Education, Training & Peer
Support Center at namieducation@nami.org.
·
DATA COLLECTION: (Emphasis mine) Please
encourage your program leaders to submit data on all the classes,
presentations and support groups they led this year. We will start compiling
this as well as the State Training data on January 13. You may see the
submitted data via the NAMI Data Access Site.
·
Re-launch of NAMI Education online newsletter: We heard from many of you that you
loved the Online Newsletter released earlier this year. Due to technical difficulties
we had to take it down temporarily, but we are delighted to say that we will
re-launch it early next year. On this evergreen site you will find
information about:
o
Training
of Trainers
o
NAMI 360
Access
o
How to
list your programs and classes on nami.org
o
Program
updates and more!
Warm regards,
Colleen

Please note that on the webpage where you go to access reporting data
there are tutorials on how to enter the data.
One very helpful one is the compatibility tutorial: http://screencast.com/t/dGt28nrj1VU
Please let me know if you need
further assistance with any of these items mentioned above, and especially with
reporting your classes and support group meetings. This data is used by National and by NAMI
California and are essential in the continuance of the programs. Thanks very much!
