The Well Community is part of a network of organizations that advocate for mental health and help meet the need for relationship and connection among those who live with mental illnesses. We’re thankful for other Dallas-area organizations like these that serve individuals who are impacted by mental health challenges.
NAMI Dallas
As the local chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, NAMI Dallas provides information, resources and support for individuals who are impacted by mental illness and their families, and advocates on their behalf. Founded in 1982, it offers numerous family and peer education courses and support groups, and organizes seminars and events such as NAMIWalks Dallas that raise awareness of mental illness and fight stigma.
The Grace Alliance
Based in Waco, Texas, The Grace Alliance is a national organization that provides Christian mental health recovery resources, support groups and training for churches, communities, families and individuals. Its Dallas-area Living Grace Peer Support Groups (for those living with mental illness) and Family Grace Groups (for spouses and families) provide community-based small group support, tools and insight.
Okay to Say
Okay to Say was founded by the Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute and its partners to change the conversation about mental illness. It seeks to increase awareness that most mental illnesses are treatable and offer messages of hope and recovery to Texans and their families. This community-based movement engages Texans in talking openly about mental health challenges and recovery, and regularly offer programs in the Dallas area.
Mental Health America of Greater Dallas
Founded in 1947, Mental Health America of Greater Dallas promotes mental wellness through community education and policy advocacy. It helps develop and improve resources for children, teens and adults, and seeks to serve as a catalyst to identify, assess and respond to mental health needs in the community. It hosts a variety of peer-led support groups, and more than 100,000 people participate in the organization’s educational programs each year.
