I am thrilled to introduce our newest teammates who will be joining us for the Spring 2024 term. Over the next few months, they will be providing invaluable support to our NAMI Westside LA team. Our interns have a deep commitment to mental health advocacy and a strong desire to make a positive impact in our community. Feel free to reach out to them directly and get to know them better.
2024 Interns
Kassandra
4th year, Political Science and Psychology
“I observed the significance of mental health and the need to eliminate the stigma associated with it when a family member denied the existence of another family member’s mental health difficulties. Many people are in need of assistance but are unsure of how to improve their mental health.”
2024 Interns
Ellie
3rd year, Psychology
“I have seen the repercussions of mental health going untreated, so often due to the stigma surrounding mental health support and services. I want to be a part of the change in creating a future where mental health is taken as seriously as physical health.”
2024 Interns
Tianai
2nd year, Psychology and Pre-Political Science
“I think mental health is the core of everything. A healthy mentality can carry you through difficult times and help you learn from them instead of being defeated. I find my beliefs and goals in good alignment with the mission of NAMI, namely being the backbone for people who have mental illnesses and the people around them.”
