Congratulations to Nisheena Clemons on her selection by National PTA as a Healthy Minds Fellow! In this year-long program, Fellows shape PTA's Healthy Minds initiatives and build mental health expertise in school communities.
Nisheena hit the ground running at the start of 2026. At National PTA headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia, she connected with other Fellows from across the country, learning about the work they are leading in their local PTAs. She also dissected the Healthy Minds initiative, explored how to bring it to life at the local level, and was trained to facilitate mental health workshops for state PTAs nationwide.
She has already led a workshop in New Mexico for school leaders and PTA leaders, with Georgia next on the calendar. Her goal in the fellowship is to destigmatize mental health and help the adults supporting our students prioritize student mental health by providing them with information and resources.
Jack the Brave was with Nisheena every step of the way.
This is just the beginning. Stay tuned for what's next from Nisheena and her Healthy Minds Fellowship!
