Education & Support Family Members & Caregivers 我们与该计划有关的大部分工作都涉及研究新方法并开发实施它们的创新方法。我们通过收集定性和定量数据来评估我们在这一领域的成功，并使用这些信息来衡量我们基线测量的变化和变化。 Programs Kids, Teens, & Young Adults NAMI North Texas Youth Programs help battle the stigma that surrounds mental health conditions and provide the resources and support that can make a difference in the lives of youth and their families. Programs Individuals Living with Mental Illness For those who suffer from a mental health condition, knowing the facts about mental health can help to lessen the burden of a diagnosis. One in five Americans experiences some form of mental illness in any given year, and severe conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or long-term recurring major depression affects one in 25 Americans. Mental illness can affect anyone at any point in their life and is not a reflection of self-worth or ability but instead should be viewed as any other serious illness. Mental illness is never your fault, nor the responsibility of those around you. It is not a personal failure to experience symptoms of mental illness that interfere with your daily functioning or make it hard for you to enjoy life as you used to. With this being said, many misconceptions exist surrounding mental illness that make it hard for those who suffer to seek help, and the stigma of having a mental health condition can worsen symptoms. Although mental illness can feel isolating, you are not alone, and there is hope for recovery. NAMI North Texas offers many different tools, resources, and support groups for many demographics, aiming to educate, support, and advocate for those with mental illnesses. Programs

Claudia Smith I have been a member of NAMI North Texas and a teacher of Family-to-Family in Spanish and English for the past 8 years. I had been in the hotel business for the past 37 years, 25 of those in Dallas, Texas. I love my family; they are my support. I love walking my dog and gardening (they are also my therapy).

NAMI On Campus College is an exciting time. From being away from home and finding independence to meeting new people and trying new things, every day brings new experiences. There is also a new level of academic responsibility. Classes are harder and there is always a due date on the horizon. Balancing all of the changes that happen in college can be stressful and challenging. Those challenges are even more difficult for the 1 in 5 students who also face a mental health condition. Nearly three-quarters of mental health conditions emerge by age 24, so many college students are facing mental health concerns for the first time, and may not know where to go for support. NAMI knows that some of the best support a student can receive is from peers. When students connect with one another, they can share common experiences and support each other through the transitions. NAMI on Campus helps make those connections happen. NAMI on Campus clubs work to end the stigma that makes it hard for students to talk about mental health and get the help they need. Clubs hold creative meetings, innovative awareness events, and offer signature NAMI programs through partnership with NAMI North Texas. Contact us and let's talk about bringing NAMI to your campus. For additional information and support, please see NAMI's C ollege Guide .

¿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.
