Youth Programming
About Our Youth Advisory Board!
The NAMI Washington Youth Advisory Board (YAB) will allow youth and young adults to gain leadership skills and represent the voices of youth regarding mental health. Throughout the year, the YAB will share their thoughts, opinions, and feedback on improving mental health services for youth through content, initiatives, new projects, and activities to meet youth where they are.
NAMIWA's Youth Advisory Board's Podcast on Mental Health
Comfortable Uncomfortable Conversations, a teen-led podcast where we dive into the topics that often go unspoken, especially when it comes to mental health.
​
Together, we explore why mental health matters, what this podcast is all about, and how we hope to spark real, unfiltered conversations that help other teens feel seen, heard, and supported.
​
We’re setting the tone for what’s to come: raw honesty, connection, and a community where there’s no shame in speaking up. Whether you're tuning in to better understand yourself, support a friend, or just want to feel less alone, this podcast is for you.
NAMI Ending the Silence Presentation is a 50-minute presentation about mental health conditions in youth. Available for 3 audiences: students, families, and school staff. All versions educate about warning signs, what to do, and the importance of early intervention. NAMI Ending the Silence for Students is an evidence-based program.
​
The ETS for Staff presentation is now accredited and will begin offering clock hours for teachers. The presentation will continue to be free for teachers who are not interested in receiving the continuing education.
The course has been approved and we can begin offering 1 clock hour to teachers immediately. The cost will be $10 for teachers to earn the 1 clock hour. Please see below to download the paperwork.
NAMI on Campus clubs work to end the stigma that makes it hard for students to talk about mental health and get the help they need. Clubs hold creative meetings, hold innovative awareness events, and offer signature NAMI programs through partnerships with NAMI State Organizations and Affiliates across the nation.
