Galas & Scientific Symposia
Held in various cities throughout the country, our regional Galas are major fund-raising events honoring extraordinary individuals for their contributions to mental health research and awareness. These events are usually coupled with a scientific symposium where our renowned researchers present the latest advancements in mental health research. Our symposia are always free and open to the public.

Parlor Meetings & Educational Seminars
Parlor meetings & educational seminars are small, informational meetings hosted by regional volunteers, with a scientific speaker provided by NARSAD. These events are held either in someone’s home or in another location such as a school, public library, community center, country club, etc., and offer those in attendance the unique opportunity of a private audience with a NARSAD researcher.
