El Paso, Texas – The City of El Paso and Destination El Paso are proud to announce the 2024 NAMI Texas Annual Conference will be held at the El Paso Convention Center on November 7 – 9, marking the first time this event will be held in West Texas.

The NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) Texas Annual Conference serves as an annual gathering for individuals and families affected by mental illness, as well as mental health service providers, advocates and stakeholders from across the broader mental health community. Each year, this conference brings together experts, innovators and those impacted by mental health challenges to share insights, celebrate achievements and highlight the latest innovations and resources in mental health care.

“NAMI Texas is thrilled to be holding our annual conference in El Paso for the first time in our 40-year history. This is the event of the year for the Texas mental health community, offering an abundance of inspiration, knowledge and celebration. With all that El Paso offers in community, culture, and connection, it’s a perfect fit for the NAMI Texas Annual Conference,” said Greg Hansch, NAMI Texas Executive Director.

This year’s conference agenda will feature keynote speakers, panel discussions, workshops and an awards celebration to recognize outstanding contributions to mental health advocacy and support. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with leading professionals, gain valuable knowledge, and connect with others who are dedicated to improving mental health services in Texas.
