12th Annual Harvest of Hope Wellness Conference
Oct. 4 - 8
We hope you will join us for NAMI Mercer's annual Harvest of Hope Wellness Conference. Though we are hosting the conference ONLINE this year, our goals remain the same. We seek to promote well-being, raise awareness about mental health challenges, and transform the way people view mental illness in order to foster more inclusive communities where everyone belongs and everyone can thrive.
The conference will launch on Sunday evening, October 4th at 7:00 pm with an interactive cooking demo by chef Christina Covello, followed by an entertaining improvisational comedy performance by The Dreamcatchers Repertory Theater.
The keynote presentation, Creating Mental Harmony in Times of Uncertainty, will be delivered by actress, author, and mental health advocate Mariel Hemingway on Monday evening, October 5th at 7:00 pm.
Two thought-provoking, practical breakout sessions will be held on each of the following three evenings: Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. As always, the topics are current and relevant and the presenters are experts in their field.
The wonderful benefit of having this event online is that all attendees will be able to participate in any or all sessions and will receive access to this content after the conference ends.

Harvest of Hope is a wellness conference hosted annually by NAMI Mercer as a gift to the community during Mental Illness Awareness Week in October. This event was first held in 2009 to let those across the New Jersey Capital area know we are committed to promoting good mental health for everyone and to changing the way people view those with mental health challenges. Harvest of Hope is being hosted ONLINE in 2020, which is why this year's conference is called Harvest of Hope at Home.
Although the venue has changed, the structure of the conference agenda remains the same.
