NAMI WALKS NORTHWEST
In 2020, we had thousands of participants joins us for a virtual walk “their way”: walking, hiking, spending time with family, etc. The events of 2020 have shown us that more than ever, our community is in need of NAMI’s services. This year, we will again come together to make a statement that mental health matters, that no one should be embarrassed to ask for help, and that recovery is possible. Funds raised through our online walk event help support NAMI programs and services, which are offered at no cost to participants. Click here for more details about the 2021 NAMIWalk.
