The National Mental Health Corps (NMHC) is a national mental health workforce development program that partners with schools, universities, health care systems, and community-based organizations to expand access to mental health education, prevention, and support services. NMHC Ameri Corps Volunteers serve within their communities to strengthen local capacity and support the implementation of evidence-based and evidence-informed mental health programming. In South Carolina, NMHC Volunteers help address the growing need for increased mental health awareness, early intervention, and community education.

Through service, members support initiatives that provide individuals with the knowledge and tools needed to recognize mental health concerns, reduce stigma, and connect individuals to appropriate resources and support. At SC Thrive, NMHC Ameri Corps Volunteers support school and community mental health outreach and education initiatives. Members implement Adult Mental Health First Aid trainings for schools and community members, helping participants develop the skills to recognize signs of mental health challenges, provide initial support, and guide individuals toward professional resources when needed.

In addition to facilitating trainings, members assist with outreach efforts, partnership development, communications, promotional activities, and program coordination. Volunteers contribute to data collection, reporting, and evaluation efforts that help strengthen and sustain mental health education initiatives. Through their service with SC Thrive, NMHC Volunteers help expand access to mental health resources, build community awareness, and create more supportive environments across South Carolina.
