Free Webinar on College Mental Health with NAMI & NCAA
College is an exciting time of intellectual growth, new friendships and independence. But the transition from high school to college can be a time of stress, which often impacts mental health. In fact, 75% of all mental health conditions begin by age 24. That is why the college years are critical for understanding and talking about mental health. Join NAMI and the NCAA for a doubleheader free webinar as we raise awareness about the signs of mental health conditions in college students and where to seek help when they arise.
This SAMHSA-sponsored webinar will highlight important information in NAMI's college guide, Starting the Conversation: College and Your Mental Health, including students' health privacy rights. It will also showcase the NCAA's best practices for safeguarding the mental health and wellbeing of student-athletes through the Sport Science Institute.
Date
: July 18, 2017
Time
: 3:00-4:30 p.m. (EST)
Speakers
Darcy Gruttadaro, J.D., Director of Public Policy, NAMI
Happy Carlock, Advocacy & Public Policy Coordinator, NAMI
Dr. Brian Hainline, Chief Medical Officer, NCAA
Mary Wilfert, Associate Director of Prevention and Health Promotion, NCAA

NAMI National to Pilot New Program in CA
NAMI National will be piloting a new program in California, among other states, over the next few months. The new program - NAMI Family & Friends - is a 4-hour seminar that informs and supports people who have loved ones living with a mental health condition. Participants learn about diagnoses, treatment, recovery, communication strategies, crisis preparation, and NAMI resources. The new seminar is being supported through Providence St. Joseph Health.
In addition to piloting the NAMI Family & Friends seminar, NAMI will be testing:
- an eBook version of the participant manual; and
- an online program search/participant management tool called the NAMI Portal.
Please stay tuned for more information that NAMI California will send out to affiliates via email in the next following days. The information will contain more details about the new seminar, as well as information on how interested affiliates can submit an interest form to participate in the program.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Erik Villalobos, Education Coordinator, at [email protected].
