About NAMIWalks:
We are all affected by mental health challenges. Everyone knows someone who has struggled with their mental health. We must improve the way that our neighbors, employers, family and friends view people living with a mental illness. The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), is the strongest organization that does that. Mental illness can be treated and people can live full, vibrant lives.
The funds raised by NAMIWalks provide essential education, advocacy and no-charge support group programs for people living with mental illness and their loved ones. NAMI Los Angeles County addresses the mental illness needs of our community, replaces stigma with understanding and helps thousands of families and individuals each year.
