Hopefully this service from the CPNP Program Committee will help to pave the way for your visit to Tampa in April!
PLAN TO “WALK FOR NAMI” IN 2012
The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and CPNP have worked collaboratively for many years to assist and support the education of persons with mental illness and their families regarding psychoactive medications, psychiatric illness, and use of psychiatric pharmacists locally. CPNP authors “Ask the Psychiatric Pharmacist” columns and medication education monographs which are posted on the NAMI website for easy access.
The fifth annual “CPNP Walks for NAMI” event will occur during the CPNP Annual Meeting on May 2 in Tampa in downtown Tamp. This event involves a 5K walk/run with donations matched by CPNP. Since 2008, CPNP and Annual Meeting attendees have contributed over $15,000 to NAMI educational programs through walk donations. This annual event is coordinated by volunteer members of the CPNP Consumer Relations Committee and CPNP staff.
CPNP hopes you will contribute to an organization which provides so many valuable programs to patients and their family members. This is a fun and innovative way to support NAMI and get better acquainted with fellow CPNP members. Can't walk on May 2 with CPNP? Check out the NAMI web pages to learn if a walk is scheduled in your area.
