NAMI Hawaii is holding an in-person Talk Story event quarterly in 2026, with the first event’s focus being on one of our newer programs, NAMI Hearts and Minds: mental health is physical health. Come join us in-person on Sunday, April 12th to learn more and connect with the NAMI Board and NAMI community

Have you heard of LAIs (Long-Acting Injectables) in a mental health setting, and were unsure about what they were?

Join NAMI for a virtual webinar on Saturday, April 25, to learn more about LAIs, what the advantages/disadvantages are, and learn more from peers and family members who have directly been through this treatment. LAIs are not for everyone, but everyone deserves to know they exist and have a choice in their care.
