We're excited to share that NAMI North Texas will be represented at two conferences next week, sharing our work in first responder mental health through our Overwatch Peer Support - OPS program! 💚

Since 2019, we've been building a program that supports first responders through peer support, training, and community partnerships. With more than 300 first-responder peer supporters trained, we're proud of the work that's grown from a local initiative and excited to share what we've learned with others.

Next week, our Executive Director will present at:

🔹 NAMI Program Coordinators' Learning Expo (PCLE) — connecting with NAMI program leaders from across the country to share experiences and explore opportunities to bring effective programs to more communities.

🔹 NAMI Texas Annual Conference & Awards Celebration — joining NAMI affiliates, mental health advocates, peers, family members, and community partners from across Texas to share our work and explore the potential for broader collaboration in first responder mental health.

We're grateful for opportunities to learn from our peers, share what we've learned along the way, and help advance conversations about supporting the mental health and well-being of those who serve our communities.

Grab a coffee and support NAMI North Texas this Saturday at Union 💚☕

☕️ Your coffee can do a little more good this Saturday.

For this month’s Shot of Generosity, we’re pouring back into NAMI North Texas —an organization working to make sure people navigating mental health challenges and their families don’t have to do it alone.

NAMI North Texas provides free education, support, advocacy, and community programs across North Texas. One of those programs is Creative Connections, a welcoming, low-pressure gathering in Richardson where people can create, connect, and spend time with others on their own mental health journeys.

Because sometimes support looks like a support group.
Sometimes it looks like learning something new.
And sometimes it looks like making something with other people and remembering you’re not alone.

This Saturday, 15% of gross sales at Union will go to NAMI North Texas. Come grab coffee and learn about NAMI!

What can teenagers teach us about empathy, adaptability, and connection?

Quite a lot, according to Leanne Foell, LCSW-S, whose plenary session is:
Meet Me Where I’m At: Lessons from Teenagers

Leanne will explore what young people can teach us about navigating change, strengthening connection, and showing up for others—without running ourselves into the ground.
