NCHS Clubs are student-led clubs that raise mental health awareness and reduce stigma on campus through peer led activities and education. Student Leaders will be empowered with toolkits, materials, templates and resources to make running the club a fun and educational process. Student Leaders attend training to learn about mental health and being advocates on campus. The Club is open to all students-those with mental health conditions, those with family members with a condition, or students who are interested in the field or in advocacy.

The NCHS Club program is in partnership with the California Department of Education (CDE) and the Placer County Office of Education (PCOE) as part of their Student Mental Health Program, funded by CalMHSA.

NCHS is a mental health awareness club for students and teachers on high school campuses. It is not a support or therapy group. NAMI California has worked diligently with CDE and PCOE to ensure that students and advisors will be instructed on how to run the club safely and responsibly, and will be required to always follow the rules and policies of their school district. A full day of training for Advisors and student leaders will educate the Clubs about mental health, raising awareness, running a club, being supportive of others, and recognizing early signs of mental health conditions.
