Dr. Ralph Nelson, former NAMI California President, NAMI national board member and longtime mental health advocate, recently stepped down from the Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission (MHSOAC) (see story in NAMI California’s January monthly newsletter). We encourage interested NAMI members to apply for an appointment to the MHSOAC. There are currently two vacancies on the Commission: (1) family member of an adult or senior with a severe mental illness and (2) family member of a child who has or has had a severe mental illness. Click on the links below for the online application, MHSOAC description and website:
