NAMI South Bay

05/16/2026

Ahead of NAMIWalks tomorrow, NAMI South Bay joined students at Redondo Union High School alongside NAMI on Campus to help promote mental health awareness, connection, and support for youth. 💚

We loved seeing students engaged in conversations around peer support, kindness, wellness, and ending stigma. Youth voices and leadership matter, and it’s inspiring to watch students help create more compassionate school communities. ✨

Special thank you to our dedicated volunteers and supporters — including Bea who even chose to spend part of her birthday giving back to the community. 💚

💚Happening Today: Connection, Community & Hope 💚

Tonight, the Rotary Club of Mental Health & Wellness is gathering for a special evening at allcove Beach Cities — a welcoming and innovative space dedicated to supporting young people through mental health services, peer support, wellness resources, family support, and community connection.

In a world where so many people are struggling silently, spaces like allcove remind us how powerful it is to create places where people feel seen, supported, and not alone. ✨

We’re also grateful to welcome Tom Bakaly, who will share more about the vision and impact behind the allcove model and the importance of youth mental wellness in our communities.

✨ Evening Schedule

🏡 5:00 PM – Guided Tour of Beach Cities

💛 Addi’s Darbar will generously donate 15% back to support our Rotary NAMIWalks team — including dine-in and takeout orders for anyone who would like to support the cause.

Stigma grows in silence. Healing begins in community. 💚

This May for Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re reminded that no one has to go through their mental health journey alone.

When we stay silent, stigma grows.

When we share, we create connection.
✨ Your voice matters
✨ Your story matters
✨ You matter

This month, we choose connection over silence—and we invite you to join us.

One way to take action is by being part of something bigger:
NAMIWalks Greater Los Angeles County Mental Health Festival 2026 on May 16 💚

Together, we walk to:
💚 Break stigma
💚 Share hope
💚 Support one another

El estigma crece en el silencio. La sanación comienza en comunidad. 💚

Este mes de Mental Health Awareness Month, recordamos que nadie tiene que enfrentar su salud mental en soledad.

Cuando guardamos silencio, el estigma crece.

Cuando compartimos, creamos conexión.
✨ Tu voz importa
✨ Tu historia importa
✨ Tú importas

Este mes, elegimos la conexión en lugar del silencio—y te invitamos a ser parte.

Una forma de actuar es unirte a algo más grande:
NAMIWalks Greater Los Angeles County Mental Health Festival 2026 el 16 de mayo 💚

Juntos caminamos para:
💚 Romper el estigma
💚 Compartir esperanza
💚 Apoyarnos unos a otros
