LEARN MORE Ang Blue House sa Swiss Avenue "Hayaan mong ipakilala ko sa iyo ang asul na bahay sa Swiss Avenue; dito ako nakatagpo ng isang bagong pamilya at pagtanggap. Ang asul na bahay ang nagbukas ng aking mga mata sa katotohanan tungkol sa sakit sa pag-iisip at ang kondisyon na nagpatahimik sa akin ng aking sariling "dugo" na pamilya. Ang asul na bahay ay nagbigay sa akin ng isang pare-parehong lugar upang tawagan ang sa akin noong ako ay tumira sa labas ng aking kotse noong una kong inangkin ang aking emosyonal na suportang aso. Ang asul na bahay ay hindi nagsara ng pinto nito sa akin sa paghatol o pag-abandona, ngunit Inimbitahan akong pumasok nang bukas ang mga kamay ko noong nasa pinakamababa ako. Nagbigay pa ito ng kanlungan sa aking emosyonal na asong sumusuporta at naging bahagi ako ng pamilya nang maramdaman kong nag-iisa ako na walang mapupuntahan. Ang asul na bahay ay naging ligtas kong kanlungan at isang lugar kung saan ako ay namulaklak at sa wakas ay natagpuan ang aking boses sa isang mundo na naninira sa mga nabubuhay na may mga kondisyon sa kalusugan ng isip. Ang mga nasa loob ng asul na bahay sa Swiss Avenue ay naging aking bagong pamilya at lakas habang ako ay naglalakbay sa mga bagong tubig ng pagbawi at pagkakakilanlan sa sarili. Hindi ko kinailangang magtago dito sa asul na bahay; ito ay ang aking paglipat upang mahanap ang aking sariling lugar sa lipunan bilang isang indibidwal at hindi bilang isang istatistika. Ang asul na bahay ay nagbigay sa akin ng lakas ng loob na magpatuloy at makinig sa iba na nabiktima at pinatahimik ng sarili nilang pagdurusa. Hindi na ako dapat matakot, dahil binasag ng pamilya sa asul na bahay ang aking katahimikan at binigyan ako ng kapangyarihan upang mahanap ang aking layunin. Minahal at inalagaan ako ng aking bagong pamilya sa kabila ng aking karamdaman at nakita ako sa kung ano ako, hindi sa mga kondisyon ng kalusugan ng isip na mayroon ako. Ang asul na bahay sa Swiss Avenue ang tumulong sa akin na tuluyang makawala sa mga tanikala ng mantsa na nagpabihag sa akin nang napakatagal." - Anonymous NAMI North Texas was incorporated as a nonprofit organization in Texas in 1982.

Paul Sloane Treasurer TBD Bilang isang dating propesyonal na manlalaro ng football, mayroon akong access sa mga mapagkukunan ng kalusugan ng isip. Ang NFL at ang NFL Players Association ay nakipagtulungan upang lumikha ng isang mapagkukunan ng kalusugan ng isip para sa mga dati at kasalukuyang manlalaro upang humingi ng tulong sakaling kailanganin iyon. Ito ay isang libreng serbisyo sa amin at sa aming pamilya. Ginagamit ko ang mga mapagkukunang iyon kapag kinakailangan o kahit na para lamang mag-check in upang makipag-usap tungkol sa kung nasaan ako sa buhay at kung ano ang nangyayari. Noong nakaraang linggo, sinimulan ng NAMI North Texas ang isang programa sa pagsasanay upang magbigay ng ganap na kumpidensyal, walang gastos, walang stigma na network ng suporta sa kalusugan ng isip para sa pagpapatupad ng batas (at kalaunan ang lahat ng unang tumugon at kanilang mga pamilya). Sa pamamagitan ng disenyo, tinutugunan nito ang mga pinakakilalang dahilan kung bakit ang mga unang tumugon ay madalas na hindi humingi ng pangangalaga sa kalusugan ng isip; panlipunan at propesyonal na stigma, takot sa pagbaba ng posisyon o pagkawala ng trabaho, kawalan ng kakayahang makahanap ng tagapagbigay ng serbisyo na may kakayahang iugnay ang paulit-ulit na trauma na naghihikayat sa pangangailangan para sa isang propesyonal sa kalusugan ng isip. Ang programang ito ay magiging isang ganap na kumpidensyal na unang hakbang sa pangangalaga sa kalusugan ng isip, na ginagawang mas madali para sa mga unang tumugon na humingi ng tulong. Ang mga Peer Supporter ay magsisilbi ring tulay sa mga propesyonal na serbisyo sa kalusugan ng isip. Sila ay sasanayin na kilalanin kapag ang isang kapwa opisyal ay nangangailangan ng higit sa kanilang sinanay na mag-alok at tulungan silang kumonekta sa isang therapist, psychiatrist o iba pang propesyonal na serbisyo na may karanasan sa pakikipagtulungan sa mga unang tumugon. Palagi kong iginagalang ang tagapagpatupad ng batas, at oo, kahit na sa ilalim ng ilang mahihirap na kalagayan, dahil mayroon din silang mga pamilya at ang kanilang priyoridad ay magbigay ng serbisyo sa komunidad, at protektahan at pagsilbihan.

¿Qué es la salud mental? ¿Qué es la salud mental? La enfermedad mental es una enfermedad que altera el pensamiento, sentimiento, humor, capacidad para relacionarse con los demás y el funcionamiento diario de las personas afectadas. Al igual que la diabetes es un trastorno del páncreas, las enfermedades mentales son condiciones médicas que a menudo resultan en una disminución de la capacidad para afrontar las demandas ordinarias de la vida. Enfermedades mentales graves incluyen la depresión mayor, la esquizofrenia, el trastorno bipolar, el trastorno obsesivo compulsivo (TOC), trastorno de pánico, trastorno de estrés postraumático (TEPT) y el trastorno límite de la personalidad. La buena noticia sobre la enfermedad mental es que la recuperación es posible. Las enfermedades mentales pueden afectar a personas de cualquier edad, raza, religión o ingreso. Las enfermedades mentales no son el resultado de una debilidad personal, la falta de carácter, o de mala educación. Las enfermedades mentales son tratables. La mayoría de las personas diagnosticadas con una enfermedad mental grave pueden experimentar un alivio de sus síntomas participando activamente en un plan de tratamiento individual. NAMI North Texas es una organización de salud mental sin fines de lucro que se esfuerza por mantener la diversidad. Entendemos que las enfermedades mentales pueden afectar a cualquier persona en cualquier momento y queremos estar ahi cuando surge la necesidad de ayuda.
