BHACET MISSION & GOALS
The Behavioral Health Awareness Coalition is devoted to education and awareness for behavioral health needs for all segments of the population. Our goals are as follows:
- To participate in state and national behavioral health observances;
- To increase understanding about behavioral health and reduce stigma associated with mental health needs;
- To promote and facilitate collaboration among organizations, agencies, and individuals who support the mission of the coalition.
May is Mental Health Month
Each year millions of Americans face the reality of living with a mental illness. During May, BHACET joins the national movement to raise awareness about mental health. Each year we fight stigma, provide support, educate the public and advocate for policies that support people with mental illness and their families. For more information and resources, click HERE.

JOIN US AS WE PARTICIPATE IN THE 2020 NAMI WALK
Join the members of the Behavioral Health Awareness Coalition of East Tennessee, as we VIRTUALLY walk together as a team with our family, friends and community in support of NAMIWalks Your Way on Saturday, May 30th, 2020.
NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) Knoxville is a nonprofit, grassroots organization dedicated to improving the lives of people with severe and persistent mental health issues, as well as their loved ones, through effective and innovative support, education, and advocacy. Each year, our community gathers together in support of the great work provided by NAMI and participates in the NAMIWalk. However, this year looks a little different...
How does someone participate in a virtual walk? Where do you begin? How do you get started on preparing for NAMIWalks Your Way Tennessee: A Virtual Event http://namiwalks.org/tennessee on May 30? What’s training even look like? And where do you get your gear — whatever it is?
No need to fret. If you’ve participated in the past, you get ready for NAMIWalks the way you always have, minus the emphasis on the huffing and puffing perhaps. If you’re new to NAMIWalks, it’s easier and more fun than ever. Follow these sure-fire steps. If you want to "walk with" the Behavioral Health Awareness Coalition's team, sign up below!
We encourage participants to take photos and video and share their activities on social media—tag @NAMIKnoxville and @BHACET and use the hashtags #NotAlone #NAMITNcares and #MentalHealthForAll—as a way to stay connected.
