NAMI agrees with the show’s findings that while many students are flourishing, some do need significant support to manage their illnesses on campus. Michael J. Fitzpatrick, NAMI Executive Director comments, “Higher education is the foundation that allows young adults to ultimately lead independent and productive lives, especially important for those with mental illnesses.” NAMI has worked to develop resources and programs that address the needs of college students, such as NAMI on Campus clubs, a student-run and led organization that focuses on improving the lives of students directly and indirectly affected by mental illness.
