NAMI Indiana State Conference 2026

The conference took place at Indianapolis Marriott North, 3645 River Crossing Parkway, Indianapolis, Indiana 46240.

Attendees included Hoosiers living with serious mental illness, family members, mental health professionals, and advocates.

The morning keynote was scheduled to be Dr. Glenda Wrenn Gordon, a board-certified psychiatrist and Chief of Clinical Strategy at Mindoula Health. The afternoon keynote was scheduled to be Randye Kaye, co-creator and host of the Schizophrenia: 3 Moms in the Trenches podcast and a NAMI Family-to-Family trainer.

Up to 5.5 Category 1 CEUs for social workers, addiction counselors, marriage and family therapists, and mental health counselors were included in registration at no additional cost. Law enforcement could earn ILEA credits.

Yes, scholarships were available at no cost to eligible applicants, thanks to sponsors and the Indiana Division of Mental Health and Addiction.

The Resource Fair was billed as featuring dozens of exhibitors offering housing support, supportive employment, and in-patient and out-patient services.

Licensed social workers, counselors and law enforcement could also earn up to 5.5 CEUs or ILEA credits included with registration, though clinicians seeking advanced specialty training would have gotten less from a one-day event aimed at a mixed community audience, and the resource fair was billed as bringing dozens of exhibitors on housing and employment support.
