The NAMI chapter at UMB is excited to welcome new members to its executive board with openings in many leadership positions.
NAMI@UMB aims to include members from all the UMB professional schools to offer events that interest and bring students together across all of UMB's disciplines. The board meets once per month, usually in the evening pending member availability. Members are encouraged to lead or participate in inclusive initiatives and events on campus that focus on student wellness, learning about living with psychiatric diagnoses, and the importance of interprofessional interactions in the lives of patients and clients living with mental illness. These events are often supported by the Counseling Center, URecFit and Wellness, the University Student Government Association, and other student organizations as well as other chapters of NAMI within the state of Maryland such as NAMI Metropolitan Baltimore. Thanks to these entities, NAMI@UMB boasts a strong support system, which it aims to expand with the addition of new members in the fall of 2022.
