UT Austin Chapter: Fall 2024
We are returning to St. Gregorios Orthodox Church to continue our curriculum to the community. Join us on Sunday, November 17th after mass.
Austin Gateway Church has opened their doors to helping their community address the complexities of mental health. We will be hosting a workshop here Saturday, November 16th.
MHISA is proud to have partnered with the North Austin Muslim Community Center (NAMCC). In collaboration, we will be conducting a seminar reviewing key content from our tailored mental health curriculum on Saturday, November 16th.
Our chapter works to engage the greater Austin, Texas region. Specifically, the South Asian communities that we are able to integrate our education, resources, and awareness efforts into.
The work to break the stigma around mental health within the South Asian culture starts on the ground with community leaders and big audiences. Our outreach efforts are always in progress and we couldn’t be more grateful.
If you are looking to get involved or learn more about our community work, please contact us!
Asian students, according to the latest UT Austin statistics, make up 22% of the student body. Of that number, the South Asian population plays a key role in the culture on campus.
With research at MHISA Texas, we utilize the excellent resources available to students across to identify, analyze, publish, and present data that drive the MHISA vision. Not only do we stand at the forefront of South Asian study, we enable academics the opportunity to shed light on topics never before studied, while nurturing the next generation of South Asian researchers.
During our Fall 2024 semester, MHISA Texas aims to further develop our curriculum and South Asian Mental Health First Aid training.
The Intervention Development committee works closely with our outreach efforts to ensure the mental health curriculum is adequately tailored to the South Asian community audience. At the moment, the curriculum is in its final stages of development and academic review prior to polit testing.
Our South Asian Mental Health First Aid education, or training, is being developed alongside the Counseling and Mental Health Center (CMHC) at UT Austin. We are currently working through the foundation.
