NAMI ON CAMPUS
NAMI On Campus are student-led clubs that raise mental health awareness and reduce stigma in schools and college campuses through peer-led activities, education, and events. Through a partnership with NAMI North Texas, student leaders are empowered with toolkits, materials, and resources to make running the club fun and educational. NAMI On Campus clubs connect students with their local community and supports them in creating a culture free of judgment and accepting of reaching out for help; a more aware and mental health-supportive school culture. NAMI On Campus clubs are open to all students interested in mental health – It is not a support or therapy group. The club serves as a space where like minded students can spearhead activities and discussions that combat stigma and contribute to an overall positive climate for mental health.
NAMI North Texas is proud to partner with these schools, universities, churches, and community groups to encourage conversation about mental health.
