NAMI On Campus High School (NCHS) Clubs are student-led clubs that raise mental health awareness and reduce stigma on campus through peer-led activities and education. Student Leaders will be empowered with toolkits, materials, templates, and resources to make running the club a fun and educational process. The Club is open to all students - those with mental health conditions, those with family members with a condition, or students who are interested in the field or in advocacy. It is not a support or therapy group.
The purpose of NCHS Clubs is to:
Be supportive of students who are living with mental illness
Provide information on school and community resources
Encourage people to recognize early signs of mental illness
Encourage students who are having mental health issues to get help
Work to end the stigma that surrounds mental illness
Create an inclusive, safe, and supportive school environment
Let students know there is help available if they need it
