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.
