Hello all. Several
items to announce this time.
·
Directing
Change needs judges for their event.
Deadline is Feb. 1st.
For information about Directing
Change please see the NAMI CA website www.namica.org
or contact Lauren@namca.org
·
Grants are now available for Peer and Family
Programs. The deadline is February
2. This time the Family programs MOU
grants are primarily for affiliates interested in holding a regional training,
that is where you would invite local affiliates to participate. The Peer grants can be a single affiliate or
preferably a regional one, as there seems to be a great need for Connection
trainings. One stipulation is that a full
or at least partial roster of candidates needs to be provided with the
application. Please see attached. Applications will begin to be reviewed after
Feb. 2nd.
·
Peer to Peer in Fairfield is not yet full, so
please continue sending applications for that training. The new deadline is January 30th
·
The newly announced Family to Family
training in Chico is also still accepting applications. The support group training in Chico is full,
but please let me know if you have interested people as I may be able to
introduce another training in June depending on where the need is. The Family to Family and Family Support Group
trainings in San Diego still has room for participants.
·
Please remember the Persona a Persona training
which is scheduled for March 27th in Ontario. Do you have any Spanish -speaking candidates
who would like to become Mentors? We
look forward to their applications!
·
A full time position for a Family and Peer
coordinator is available here at NAMI California. Please see attached job description. The application process is being handled by
HR. Please defer all questions to
them. Thank you.
·
Lastly, I wish to announce my promotion to a
newly-created Family and Peer Programs Supervisor position. As some of you know I have been handling both
departments since Stephenie left last fall.
I (impatiently) await an assistant to help me as we roll out these
trainings.
