Sources of financial support include other mental health organizations (such as your local NAMI, USPRA or MHA chapter), community foundations, employer and friends and/or family who may know how important the conference is to you. Some peer specialists form teams that conduct car washes, bake sales and garage sales to fund their participation. We try to keep our costs low because we know peer supporters are volunteers or are paid low wages. We hope this will not prevent your attendance. Hope to see you in Chicago!
