LEARN MORE स्विस एवेन्यू पर ब्लू हाउस "मैं आपको स्विस एवेन्यू पर नीले घर से मिलवाता हूं; यह वह जगह है जहां मुझे एक नया परिवार और स्वीकृति मिली। यह नीला घर था जिसने मानसिक बीमारी के बारे में सच्चाई और उस स्थिति के बारे में मेरी आंखें खोल दीं जिसने मुझे मेरे द्वारा चुप कर दिया था अपना "रक्त" परिवार। ब्लू हाउस ने मुझे अपनी कार से बाहर रहने पर मुझे फोन करने के लिए एक सुसंगत स्थान दिया क्योंकि मैंने पहली बार अपने भावनात्मक समर्थन कुत्ते का दावा किया था। नीले घर ने निर्णय या परित्याग में मेरे लिए अपना दरवाजा बंद नहीं किया था, लेकिन जब मैं अपने सबसे निचले स्तर पर था तब मुझे खुली बाहों के साथ आमंत्रित किया। इसने मेरे भावनात्मक समर्थन कुत्ते को आश्रय भी दिया और मुझे परिवार का एक हिस्सा बना दिया जब मैंने अकेला महसूस किया और जाने के लिए कोई जगह नहीं थी। नीला घर मेरा सुरक्षित आश्रय और एक जगह बन गया जहां मैं फलने-फूलने और अंतत: एक ऐसी दुनिया में अपनी आवाज ढूंढने में सक्षम हुआ, जिसने मानसिक स्वास्थ्य की स्थिति के साथ जीने वालों को कलंकित किया। स्विस एवेन्यू पर ब्लू हाउस के अंदर के लोग मेरा नया परिवार और ताकत बन गए, जब मैं पुनर्प्राप्ति और आत्म-पहचान के इन नए जल में नेविगेट कर रहा था। मुझे यहाँ नीले घर में छिपना नहीं पड़ा; एक व्यक्ति के रूप में नहीं बल्कि एक व्यक्ति के रूप में समाज में अपना स्थान खोजने के लिए यह मेरा संक्रमण था। ब्लू हाउस ने मुझे आगे बढ़ने और दूसरों को सुनने के लिए प्रोत्साहित किया, जो अपनी पीड़ा से पीड़ित और चुप हो गए हैं। मुझे अब डरने की जरूरत नहीं है, क्योंकि ब्लू हाउस में परिवार ने मेरी चुप्पी तोड़ी और मुझे अपना उद्देश्य खोजने की शक्ति दी। मेरे नए परिवार ने मेरी बीमारी के बावजूद मुझसे प्यार किया और मेरी देखभाल की और मुझे उस व्यक्ति के लिए देखा जो मैं था, न कि मेरे मानसिक स्वास्थ्य की स्थिति के लिए। स्विस एवेन्यू पर यह नीला घर था जिसने मुझे कलंक की जंजीरों से मुक्त करने में मदद की, जिसने मुझे बहुत लंबे समय तक बंदी बना रखा था।" - अनाम NAMI North Texas was incorporated as a nonprofit organization in Texas in 1982.

Jump to: Request Support | Family Support Group | OPS Trainings | Meet Our Instructors | Events Built BY First Responders, FOR First Responders The award-winning NAMI North Texas OPS program is the first of its kind: in-person, no-cost, confidential, community-based, inter-agency peer support network for first responders. This innovative program provides a private option to take the first step towards mental health care, making it easier for first responders to seek help, prioritize their own well-being, and connect with vetted, culturally appropriate clinical care when necessary. Intended to be supplementary to intra-agency support teams, OPS serves as an additional resource to optimize first responder wellness and professional performance. After more than a decade of experience working with law enforcement, NAMI North Texas developed the 16-hour, high quality, law enforcement peer support certification course in 2021-2022 with the help of the Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute. Once a first responder completes this training, they receive an OPS certification and are eligible to provide 1-1 support to other first responders who request assistance through OPS. First responders are also trained to recognize when peer support is not enough, thus serving as bridges to professional mental health services that specialize in treating first responders. During the summer of 2023, the OPS program expanded to all first responder professionals, including communications/dispatch, corrections, and civilian employees of law enforcement agencies, and fire/ems personnel. Help support first responder mental health in North Texas Supporting first responder mental health in North Texas is crucial to ensure the well-being of those who tirelessly serve and protect our communities. Overwatch Peer Support has trained individuals across 35 departments and two federal agencies, extending their invaluable education and support to over 2549 individuals last year alone. You can directly contribute to providing essential mental health support and resources to those utilizing OPS, and help first responders cope with the challenges they face daily. Your generosity can make a significant difference in enhancing the mental resilience and overall welfare of our North Texas first responders and their civilian colleagues.
