NAMIWalks Northern California

NAMIWalks Northern California What is NAMIWalks? NAMIWalks—Changing Minds...One Step at a Time — is a nationwide event held in 83 communities around the country. Why Do We Walk?

The goal of NAMIWalks Northern California is to raise both money and awareness for the mental health needs in our community, and to support the movement to make Mental Health for All a reality. It is the largest anti-stigma effort in Northern California and America. It raises public awareness about mental illness and allows individuals with mental illness and their families and friends, as well as

the larger community, to gather for this special day. Our NAMIWalks have hosted over 1,000 participants from Sacramento and the surrounding communities. The goal of the WALK is to raise both money and awareness of the need of our community to support a world-class treatment and recovery system for people with mental illness. While NAMI Sacramento is the host affiliate for the Northern California NAMIWalk, the proceeds from the Walk will benefit the following local NAMI Affiliates: Amador, Calaveras, Nevada, Placer, Sacramento, San Joaquin, Solano, and Yolo counties. The funds that are raised through this WALK are used to support various NAMI programs that are offered at no cost in our community, including:

Basics
Family-to-Family Training
Family Support Groups
Peer-to-Peer Training
Peer Support Groups
Crisis Intervention Training
Community Outreach and Education


Create a WALK Team
The success of the Northern California NAMIWalk comes through the establishment of Walk Teams. The formation of each team helps to spread awareness about the work that NAMI does for mental health in our community.
