NAMIWalks Your Way Northern California (Online)

You don’t need to leave your house to show you care about supporting mental health!

In light of the restrictions on gathering in Sacramento and other areas, and to keep our community healthy and safe, NAMIWalks are announcing the first ever NAMIWalks Northern California Virtual Walk for Mental Health. Join individuals from throughout the Country to “Walk Where You Are” in support of mental health for all.

NAMIWalks hopes you’ll join us to make this an amazing day of virtual community, fundraising and fun!

NAMIWalks — changing minds, one step at a time — is a nationwide even held in 83 communities around the country. It is the largest anti-stigma effort in Northern California and America. It raises public awareness about mental illness and allows individuals with mental illness and their families and friends, as well as the larger community, to gather for this special day. NAMIWalk’s have hosted over 1,000 participants from Sacramento and the surrounding communities.

The goal of the WALK is to raise both money and awareness of the need of our community to support a world-class treatment and recovery system for people with mental illness.

While NAMI Sacramento is the host affiliate for the Northern California NAMIWalk, the proceeds from the Walk will benefit the following local NAMI Affiliates: Amador, El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, San Joaquin, Solano, Stanislaus, Tuolumne, and Yolo.

The funds that are raised through this WALK are used to support various NAMI programs that are offered at no cost in our community, including: basics, family-to-family training, family support groups, peer-to-peer training, peer support groups, crisis intervention training, community outreach and education.
