NAMI NJ's Annual Conference on June 10, 2006 was a grand success, with excellent evaluations by over 200 attendees. The conference theme this year was "building alliances in a family and consumer driven mental health system". Building alliances is critical to fostering growth, advocacy and fighting stigma. In the past 21 years, NAMI NJ has successfully built strong alliances with families, consumers, agencies, government, media and other advocacy groups in pursuit of the goal of improving the lives of those affected by mental illness.
