Our program will share how to:
Understand the difference between “bad behavior” and symptoms of a mental health condition.
Recognize early warning signs.
Communicate and partner with families and schools effectively.
Link to community services quickly.
Create a supportive learning environment for all students.
Why we need NAMI Parents & Teachers as Allies
1 in 5 kids experiences a mental health condition
Only 20% of them actually get help
About 50% of students ages 14+ with a mental health condition will drop out of school
Suicide is the second-leading cause of death for 15-24 year olds
With early identification and intervention, there is hope.
