NAMI California Annual Conference 2026 was held at Hotel Fera Anaheim, a DoubleTree by Hilton, in Anaheim, CA.
The organizer identifies people living with mental illness, families, and mental health organizations as audience groups.
It is most useful for families, peer advocates and mental health organizations in California, since the tracks included caregiver resiliency, youth and young adults, and criminal justice policy, and the keynotes were scheduled to come from NAMI National and Telecare Corporation. Clinicians looking for dense research content would get less from it, since the format leans on presentations and table talks with social networking rather than a research-focused program.
Attendees at mental health advocacy conferences usually wear business casual or comfortable casual clothing, such as slacks or jeans with a nice top, and a layer helps in air-conditioned hotel ballrooms in Anaheim.
