Select the date of the panel you would like to attend and complete the form. All panels will take place over Zoom and this information will change from panel to panel, so it is important that you register for each day individually. The evening before and the morning of each day of the panel participants will receive an email that includes the Zoom ID and password. Panel registration is being processed through Eventbrite. You can also reach the Eventbrite page directly HERE.

This event is a collaborative effort by Mental Health Partners and the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) of Boulder County. The goals of these conversations are to share with the community the breadth and depth of work being done within these systems to address and accommodate mental health, build community awareness regarding the impact of mental illness in our region, and explore how we can better address these challenges in the future.
