NAMI Programs for the Community
Advocacy Training
NAMI Jacksonville provides advocacy training with NAMI SMARTS for Advocacy workshops. We help you develop grassroots advocacy skills and how to turn lived experience into tools you can use to engage in issue advocacy.
The training includes:
- Telling a compelling story that is inspiring and making an “ask” in 90 seconds.
- Writing an effective email.
- Making an elevator speech and making an impactful phone call.
- Orchestrating a successful meeting with an elected official.
Whether you’re new to advocacy or have years of experience, you will leave the workshop with messages, step-by-step tools and the practice you need to feel ready to make a difference.
