We don't just provide a safe space. We embrace it.

NAMIWalks is the mental health world’s beacon of hope for good reason: the energy and impact of individuals who have heartfelt stories to tell, not to mention bold new ones to write. We band together every year for a cause that’s near and dear, without fear of stigma, and with the guarantee of encouragement.

Participants tell us that it feels pretty great knowing that there are folks just like them being different, and making a difference at the same time. Inspiring people to rock the “Mental Health Mentality” that we wear as a badge of promise.

You don’t have to walk to make a difference. Donate now to make a difference in the lives of people with Mental Illness!
