This is an online survey for NAMI State Organization (NSO) and NAMI Affiliate (NA) staff and volunteers to help the National Office learn about resources and programs for youth under age 14 currently offered by the Field. NAMI also welcomes information about why NSO/NAs have chosen to offer or not offer these resources and programs.
Historically, NAMI’s efforts to support young people’s mental health have focused on young adults ages 18-25, high school students, and more recently, middle school students. In 2022, NAMI released “Meet Little Monster,” a mental health coloring and activity book for young children created by NAMI Washington that has been incredibly popular, bringing to NAMI’s attention its need to have more resources and initiatives for younger audiences.
Participating in this survey will help the National Office understand the current landscape of youth mental health resources within the Field and how to best support the Field and youth under age 14 moving forward.
Who can participate:
- Individuals with a staff or volunteer role at an NSO/NA,
- particularly those involved in youth mental health support.
Respondents will be asked to identify their primary NSO/NA.
Individuals who are not affiliated with NAMI are NOT ELIGIBLE to participate in this survey.
Where is the study taking place:
This is an online survey that may be taken from a laptop, smartphone, tablet, etc. Optional follow-up conversations will take place via phone or Zoom.
