🌟 A Star Walker and a true rock star! 🌟

Join us in celebrating Beth Baxter, a NAMIWalks Star Walker for NAMI Sumner and Wilson Counties! This designation recognizes walkers who raise more than $1,000—and Beth raised an incredible $2,000 with the support of the Babb Center!

Beth’s commitment goes well beyond fundraising. As a member of our Board of Directors, she gives her time, energy, and heart to support our mission in so many ways.

Thank you, Beth, and thank you to the Babb Center for helping bring hope, support, and mental health awareness to our community. 💚

💚 October May Be Ending, But the Conversation Shouldn’t

Throughout October, we’ve talked about mental health awareness, challenged stigma, recognized World Mental Health Day, and come together through NAMIWalks.

But mental health matters every day of the year.

Sometimes making a difference starts with something simple—checking in on a friend, listening without judgment, learning more about mental health, sharing a resource, or reminding someone that they don’t have to navigate a difficult time alone.

At NAMI Sumner & Wilson Counties, our commitment continues year-round. We are here to provide education, support, resources, and connection for individuals and families throughout our communities.

As we close out October, let’s carry this message forward:

💚 Keep talking.
💚 Keep listening.
💚 Keep learning.
💚 Keep showing up for one another.

Mental health awareness doesn’t have an end date.

💚 What an Incredible Day for NAMIWalks Sumner & Wilson Counties! 💚

This past Saturday, our community came together for something truly meaningful—raising awareness, breaking down stigma, and showing that no one should face mental health challenges alone.

On behalf of NAMI Sumner & Wilson Counties, I want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who helped make our Walk a success!

👏 To our volunteers: Your time, energy, dedication, and willingness to serve made this event possible. We simply couldn't do what we do without you!

💚 To our walkers and participants: Thank you for showing up, sharing your stories, and standing together in support of mental health awareness.

🤝 To our sponsors, donors, and community partners: Your generosity and commitment help us continue providing free mental health education, support, and resources to individuals and families throughout Sumner and Wilson Counties.

Events like NAMIWalks remind us of the incredible power of community. Every conversation, every connection, and every step taken helps reduce stigma and brings us closer to a world where mental health is treated with the same importance as physical health.

The Walk may be over, but our mission continues every day.

💚 You can still make a difference!

What a wonderful experience at this year’s Annual Conference! It was inspiring to connect with so many dedicated advocates, community leaders, and partners who share a commitment to improving mental health resources and support across Tennessee.

We were especially honored to have the opportunity to connect with Tennessee’s Commissioner and hear about the important work taking place across our state.

Grateful for the conversations, connections, and renewed energy to continue NAMI’s mission in Sumner and Wilson Counties.

🍂 A New Season. A Time for Awareness.

Fall is officially here, bringing cooler days, changing leaves, and a new season.

The first full week of October is Mental Illness Awareness Week—an important reminder that mental health is part of our overall health and that awareness can make a difference.

This week, let’s take time to learn, listen, challenge stigma, and remind those around us that seeking help is a sign of strength.

At NAMI Sumner & Wilson Counties, we believe education, support, and connection can help create a community where no one feels they have to face mental health challenges alone.

Let’s start October by starting conversations.
