It was through SHAC that Ocampo was able to create the Mental Health Support Squad, a student-lead organization to support students’ mental health. More than 70 students have completed the program’s two-day training, which equips them to respond to possible mental health crises and direct those in need to available resources. “They’re by no means therapists or anything like that and we tell them they’re not expected to be,” Ocampo said. “NAU and Flagstaff are just so welcoming, and I just really enjoyed being here and meeting everybody,” Ocampo said. * I understand and agree that registration on or use of this site constitutes agreement to its user agreement and privacy policy.
