About

Augustana College NAMI on Campus helps students feel mentally and emotionally well, serving as a first step for students to talk (or not) and learn from their peers. Meetings are a safe place to share, learn, and take a break from the stresses of life. 

We plan on implementing these values into our work, for our success:

• Confidentiality 

• Unconditional support

• Solidarity

• Relatability 

• Sense of community and belonging 

• No judgement

• Education on mental health

• Growth through shared experiences

• Celebrating even the small victories 

Goals: 

• Make students feel welcome and provide a sense of belonging 

• Be a safe, and accepting environment for students to share their stories

• Provide the correct resources on various topics related to mental health

• Share coping mechanisms 

• Spread our message around campus and grow the group

• Reduce the stigma around mental health issues

• Simply make the struggles of college life easier for students 

• Cool/fun events to raise awareness 

Augustana College NAMI on Campus is a peer-run support system and community for students to take a break from the stresses of life. This group focuses on support, confidentiality, acceptance, and education on mental health.
