Paul Sloane Treasurer TBD 作为一名前职业足球运动员，我可以获得心理健康资源。 NFL 和 NFL 球员协会联手创建了一个心理健康资源，供前任和现任球员在需要时寻求帮助。这是对我们和我们家人的免费服务。 我会在必要时使用这些资源，甚至只是检查一下我在生活中的位置和正在发生的事情。 上周，NAMI North Texas 开始了一项培训计划，旨在为执法部门（以及最终所有急救人员及其家人）提供一个完全保密、免费、无污名的心理健康支持网络。 通过设计，它解决了急救人员倾向于不寻求心理保健的最突出原因；社会和职业耻辱、对降职或失业的恐惧、无法找到能够与引起对心理健康专业人员需求的重复性创伤相关的提供者。该计划将是心理健康护理完全保密的第一步，使急救人员更容易寻求帮助。同伴支持者也将成为专业心理健康服务的桥梁。他们将接受培训，以识别同事的需求何时超过他们接受的培训，并帮助他们与具有与急救人员合作经验的治疗师、精神病医生或其他专业服务人员建立联系。 我一直尊重执法人员，是的，即使在一些困难的情况下，因为他们也有家庭，他们的首要任务是为社区提供服务，保护和服务。 蒂米纽瑟姆 NAMI NTX 总裁 有关我们的更多信息 守望先锋同伴支持计划（OPS） ， 联系我们的项目和运营总监， 克里斯托弗·佩恩 。

¿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.
