NAMI Basics is a free, six-session program designed for parents and other family caregivers of children and adolescents experiencing mental health challenges. NAMI North Texas is now offering this class for professionals to help them better understand the impact that mental health conditions have on the youth as well as the family. The information provided will equip professionals working with youth and their families with unique insights that can enable them to work more collaboratively with families as part of the treatment team, as well as help them understand the value of referring their clients to NAMI Basics. "What is the difference between a “regular” NAMI Basics class and a NAMI Basics for Professionals class provided to professionals?" There is no difference in content. All 6 sessions are taught in their entirety, by trained NAMI Basics teachers. The following modifications are made when the audience is professional caregivers: During the discussion portions of the classes, Basics teachers share what parents tell us when we pose the discussion topics. For example: Discussion question: “How did it feel for you when you finally had a diagnosis for your child’s symptoms?” Basics teacher response: “For me it was a relief. Other parents who have taken this course tell us that it is helpful to finally have a name for what is going on; to know that there actually is something causing the behavior and that it can be treated.” During story sharing, participants are asked to share a story about their experiences with a child that they have worked with and how it impacted them. "Can’t I just take a regular NAMI Basics class with parents?" We never allow anyone into our peer education programs (Basics, Family-to-Family, Peer-to-Peer, or Homefront) who does not have the lived experience. This is to insure a safe, judgment-free environment for participants to be open and honest about their emotional reactions to the challenges of mental health conditions. "Why do we offer a 6 session class to busy professionals?" When NAMI Basics classes are advertised in community, routinely there are requests from teachers, counselors, youth court staff, child protective services staff and other professionals to attend so that they can learn more about the families they are working with. Because these requests are so common, approval was given to pilot the course, as it is written, with professionals in NAMI New York City Metro several years ago. It was such a success that they offer this option several times a year. It has resulted in a better equipped group of professional caregivers, and has also increased the number of families referred by these professionals to the NAMI Basics classes for parents. Questions?

Mohammad 'Pasha' Rahman Vice President Pharm D., MHA, FACHE Pasha Rahman is the Director of Pharmacy Services at Medical City Green Oaks Hospital in Dallas, Texas. Medical City Green Oaks Hospital is dedicated to inpatient psychiatric care, and has multiple outpatient programs and locations in North Texas. Là một cựu cầu thủ bóng đá chuyên nghiệp, tôi có quyền truy cập vào các nguồn sức khỏe tâm thần. NFL và Hiệp hội người chơi NFL đã hợp tác để tạo ra một nguồn sức khỏe tinh thần cho những người chơi cũ và hiện tại để tìm kiếm sự trợ giúp nếu nhu cầu đó phát sinh. Đó là một dịch vụ miễn phí cho chúng tôi và gia đình của chúng tôi. Tôi sử dụng những tài nguyên đó bất cứ khi nào cần thiết hoặc thậm chí chỉ để đăng ký để trò chuyện về vị trí của tôi trong cuộc sống và những gì đang diễn ra. Tuần trước NAMI North Texas đã bắt đầu một chương trình đào tạo để cung cấp một mạng lưới hỗ trợ sức khỏe tâm thần hoàn toàn bí mật, miễn phí, không kỳ thị cho cơ quan thực thi pháp luật (và cuối cùng là tất cả những người phản ứng đầu tiên và gia đình của họ). Theo thiết kế, nó giải quyết những lý do nổi bật nhất mà những người trả lời đầu tiên có xu hướng không tìm kiếm dịch vụ chăm sóc sức khỏe tâm thần; kỳ thị xã hội và nghề nghiệp, lo sợ bị giáng chức hoặc mất việc, không có khả năng tìm được nhà cung cấp có khả năng liên quan đến chấn thương lặp đi lặp lại dẫn đến nhu cầu về chuyên gia sức khỏe tâm thần. Chương trình này sẽ là bước đầu tiên hoàn toàn bí mật để chăm sóc sức khỏe tâm thần, giúp những người phản hồi đầu tiên tìm kiếm sự giúp đỡ dễ dàng hơn. Những người hỗ trợ ngang hàng cũng sẽ đóng vai trò là cầu nối với các dịch vụ chăm sóc sức khỏe tâm thần chuyên nghiệp. Họ sẽ được đào tạo để nhận ra khi nào một nhân viên đồng nghiệp cần nhiều hơn những gì họ được đào tạo để đưa ra và giúp họ kết nối với nhà trị liệu, bác sĩ tâm thần hoặc dịch vụ chuyên nghiệp khác có kinh nghiệm làm việc với những người phản hồi đầu tiên. Tôi luôn đối xử với cơ quan thực thi pháp luật một cách tôn trọng, và vâng, ngay cả trong một số hoàn cảnh khó khăn, bởi vì họ cũng có gia đình và ưu tiên của họ là cung cấp dịch vụ cho cộng đồng, bảo vệ và phục vụ.
