brezo bianchi MA, BCBA, LBA Heather Bianchi, MA, BCBA, LBA es analista de comportamiento certificada por la junta y analista de comportamiento con licencia que actualmente se desempeña como vicepresidenta ejecutiva de Behavioral Transformations, una empresa que brinda terapia ABA, terapia del habla y asesoramiento principalmente para niños diagnosticados con trastorno del espectro autista. en siete clínicas en Rockwall y el condado de Kaufman. Como ex jugador de fútbol profesional, tengo acceso a recursos de salud mental. La NFL y la Asociación de Jugadores de la NFL se han unido para crear un recurso de salud mental para que los jugadores actuales y anteriores busquen ayuda en caso de que surja la necesidad. Es un servicio gratuito para nosotros y nuestra familia. Utilizo esos recursos cuando es necesario o incluso solo para registrarme y tener una conversación sobre dónde estoy en la vida y qué está pasando. La semana pasada, NAMI North Texas comenzó un programa de capacitación para proporcionar una red de apoyo de salud mental completamente confidencial, sin costo y libre de estigma para las fuerzas del orden público (y eventualmente para todos los socorristas y sus familias). Por diseño, aborda las razones más destacadas por las que los socorristas tienden a no buscar atención de salud mental; estigma social y profesional, miedo a la degradación o pérdida del trabajo, incapacidad para encontrar un proveedor capaz de relacionarse con el trauma repetitivo que provoca la necesidad de un profesional de salud mental. Este programa será un primer paso completamente confidencial para la atención de la salud mental, lo que facilitará que los socorristas busquen ayuda. Los compañeros de apoyo también servirán como puentes hacia los servicios profesionales de salud mental. Serán capacitados para reconocer cuándo un compañero oficial necesita más de lo que están capacitados para ofrecer y ayudarlos a conectarse con un terapeuta, psiquiatra u otro servicio profesional que tenga experiencia trabajando con socorristas. Siempre he tratado a las fuerzas del orden público con respeto, y sí, incluso en algunas circunstancias difíciles, porque ellos también tienen familias y su prioridad es brindar un servicio a la comunidad, y proteger y servir. timmy nuevo Presidente NAMI NTX Para más información sobre nuestro Programa de apoyo entre pares (OPS) de Overwatch , comuníquese con nuestro Director de Programas y OPS, Cristóbal Payne .

NAMI On Campus La universidad es un momento emocionante. Desde estar lejos de casa y encontrar la independencia hasta conocer gente nueva y probar cosas nuevas, cada día trae nuevas experiencias. También hay un nuevo nivel de responsabilidad académica. Las clases son más difíciles y siempre hay una fecha límite en el horizonte. Equilibrar todos los cambios que ocurren en la universidad puede ser estresante y desafiante. Esos desafíos son aún más difíciles para 1 de cada 5 estudiantes que también enfrentan una condición de salud mental. Casi las tres cuartas partes de las condiciones de salud mental surgen antes de los 24 años, por lo que muchos estudiantes universitarios enfrentan problemas de salud mental por primera vez y es posible que no sepan a dónde acudir para obtener ayuda. NAMI sabe que parte del mejor apoyo que un estudiante puede recibir es de sus compañeros. Cuando los estudiantes se conectan entre sí, pueden compartir experiencias comunes y apoyarse mutuamente durante las transiciones. NAMI on Campus ayuda a que esas conexiones sucedan. Los clubes NAMI on Campus trabajan para terminar con el estigma que dificulta que los estudiantes hablen sobre la salud mental y obtengan la ayuda que necesitan. Los clubes realizan reuniones creativas, eventos innovadores de concientización y ofrecen programas exclusivos de NAMI a través de una asociación con NAMI North Texas. Contáctenos y hablemos de llevar NAMI a su campus. Para obtener más información y asistencia, consulte Guía universitaria de NAMI .
