At HMP Global, we work hard not only to provide ongoing education and training for healthcare professionals, we also actively seek out and partner with nonprofit organizations with shared missions to improve their communities.

Each year, the Psych Congress national meeting connects members of the entire mental health team for practical education that improves patient care. It is the United States’ largest independent mental health educational conference and a place for practitioners in the mental health space to network and learn best practices in personalizing treatment strategies.

For our 35th annual Psych Congress, we are honored to partner with the New Orleans chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness. NAMI New Orleans is a local organization that offers hope, help, and healing to people with mental illness — and to those who share their lives — through family support, education, and advocacy, and high-quality psychosocial services.

Through this partnership, NAMI New Orleans will receive:

• A $5,000 donation from Psych Congress;
• Additional donations from Psych Congress registrations; and
• An opportunity to address the full audience at Psych Congress, sharing their work, providing a report on their impact, and promoting the work they do in the greater New Orleans community. The address allows NAMI New Orleans to raise awareness about the nature and scope of their work. It will be held at 5:51 p.m. CST on September 16, during the pre-conference day and immediately preceding the keynote address.

At HMP Global, we work hard not only to provide ongoing education and training for healthcare professionals, we also actively seek out and partner with nonprofit organizations with shared missions to improve their communities. Organizations that have partnered with Psych Congress in the past include:

• Active Minds
• Mental Health Systems
• San Antonio Police Department Crisis Intervention Team
• Children’s Bureau of New Orleans
• VA New Jersey Health Care System
• American Foundation for Suicide Prevention
• Stop Soldier Suicide

This year, clinicians attending Psych Congress can also support NAMI New Orleans through their Congress registrations. Register here using code NAMINOLA to save $50 on your registration fee and we will donate an additional $50 to NAMI New Orleans.
