What does NPMH mean in HEALTHCARE

The mission of the National Platform for Mental Health (NPMH) is to advance public awareness and understanding of mental health, increase access to quality mental health services, and empower individuals with the knowledge and tools needed to take action for their own mental well-being.

The NPMH supports research, development and implementation of policies that ensure access to quality care; it provides educational programs that teach healthy coping skills; and it advocates for equitable care regardless of financial status or insurance coverage. It also works with community organizations in order to provide support services, housing assistance, job training, education opportunities and other resources necessary for individuals with mental illness.

There are many ways you can get involved in the NPMH's mission. Volunteers are needed across all areas — from helping out with administrative tasks or conducting research projects, to becoming a peer mentor or participating in public policy advocacy campaigns. Individuals can also donate money or resources (including personal protective equipment). Finally, members of our team welcome opportunities speak on panels, teach classes/workshops or host webinars on various topics related to mental health promotion and recovery.
