¡Nos habla español!

March 23, 2023 by NAMI Staff

¡Nosotros en NAMI Baltimore estamos emocionados de anunciar algunos de nuestros servicios ahora están disponibles en español!

Aquí en NAMI, queremos eliminar el estigma hacia la salud mental en las comunidades por educación, eventos de alcance y grupos de apoyo que son dirigidos por compañeros voluntarios. Provenimos servicios y recursos a la gente con condiciones de la salud mental, sus seres queridos y profesionales de la salud mental.

En este momento, podemos ofrecer la Helpline (línea de ayuda) para los hispanohablantes. Si indicas que te gustaría hablar con alguien en español, puedes dejarnos un mensaje y unos de nuestros voluntarios calificados le contactaran en 48 horas vía llamada telefónica o email.

Tenemos una gran lista de recursos y organizaciones en Maryland con los que podemos conectarte. Podemos darte derivaciones a recursos comunitarios en la ciudad y condado de Baltimore que incluyen la salud, vivienda, gestión de casos y servicios de discapacidades y legales—muchas que se especializan en apoyar a comunidades de inmigrantes e hispanohablantes.

Por favor, llámanos (410-435-2600 y oprime 1) o envíanos un email (info@namibaltimore.org).

Queremos conectarnos con tu comunidad

¡Nos gustaría participar en un evento en tu comunidad! Invítanos a tus escuelas, iglesias o ferias comunitarias. Podemos provenir materiales educativos, informarle a la comunidad de nuestro trabajo y albergar programas y presentaciones informativas.

¡Contáctanos hoy y trabajemos juntos para planear actividades para tu comunidad!

Compartiendo Esperanza

Estamos develando nuestra iniciativa de Comportamiento Esperanza en mayo de 2023. Será una seria de videos que explorarán el paso de la salud mental en comunidades hispanohablantes/Latinx por diálogo, narración y una discusión guiada de temas diversas.

Por favor, comparta el proyecto en tu comunidad para iniciar diálogo de este tema importante.

¿Tienes una emergencia?

Llama al 988 si tú o un ser querido está en peligro inmediato. Notifica a la operadora que haya una emergencia psiquiátrica y solicita un oficial de policía competente en CIT, quien haya recibido formación especializada para responder a emergencias de la salud mental de NAMI Baltimore y nuestros socios comunitarios.

Si tienes una crisis o necesitas hablar, llama a 988 para inglés y 1-888-628-9454 para español, la Línea de Prevención del Suicidio y Crisis. Es una línea directa, gratuita y confidencial para la prevención del suicidio que funciona las 24 horas. El número 988 te dirige a un centro de atención telefónica local, pero si te gustaría llamar a un número local, llama a la línea directa de Baltimore Crisis Response al 410-433-5175. Está disponible las 24 horas del día, los 7 días de la semana.

¡Únete a nosotros!

Si te gustaría ser parte del trabajo que hacemos, contáctanos. Envía un email a Volunteer@namibaltimore.org o puedes crear una cuenta de voluntario en NAMIbaltimore.volunteerhub.com

NAMI Metro Baltimore’s annual conference for faith community leaders took place virtually in 2021 and was a 3-part webinar series to help educate and support faith leaders. Participants learned new strategies and gained tools to help support the mental well-being of their congregations.

Upcoming Ending the Silence Presentations

December 15, 2021 by NAMI Staff

NAMI Ending the Silence is an hour-long, free presentation led by two leaders: one who shares an informative presentation with key statistics and facts on mental health conditions, and a young adult with a mental health condition who shares their journey of recovery.

Audience members can ask questions and gain understanding of an often-misunderstood topic. Through dialogue, we can help grow the movement to end stigma so people seek support, sooner.

NAMI Ending the Silence Will Teach You…

  • Warning signs and symptoms
  • How to reach out and support a student in distress
  • Where to seek mental health support
  • Healthy coping strategies
  • Local mental health resources
  • A young adult’s journey towards recovery

For questions, contact Volunteer and Outreach Manager Sarah Arndt at sarndt@namibaltimore.org or call our HelpLine at (410) 435-2600.
