NAMI Pierce County We are the Pierce County branch of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization. We are your neighbors.

Our whole purpose is to support individuals and families whose lives have been touched by the challenges of mental illness. Why? Because we have been touched by these challenging conditions ourselves. We have walked - and are walking - in your shoes every day as individuals living with a mental illness or their family members. And things work better if we can take this journey together and support each other along the way. Our NAMI Pierce page is intended to provide you useful mental health-related information. We hope it will be a dynamic ever changing source of useful information.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 🎀

This month, we honor the fighters, celebrate survivors, remember those we’ve lost, and stand alongside the individuals and families whose lives have been impacted by breast cancer.

A diagnosis can affect so much more than physical health. Fear, uncertainty, grief, changes in identity, caregiver stress, and the emotional weight of treatment and recovery can all take a toll on mental health, too.

At NAMI Pierce County, we believe caring for mental health is an important part of caring for the whole person. This October, may we lead with compassion, check in on those we love, and remind one another that no one should have to navigate life’s hardest moments alone.

Help us carry the light✨

On November 14, our community will come together for The Light We Carry: A Community Gala of Hope, Connection & Belonging. This is a free evening celebrating hope, community, and the connections that make Pierce County brighter.

There are several ways you can help make the evening possible.

Businesses and organizations can become event sponsors, with opportunities beginning at $100. Sponsorships close October 25.

We’re also currently seeking in-kind donations to help bring the event to life including raffle prizes, gift cards, services, and other items. Every contribution helps us put more of the funds raised that evening directly toward NAMI Pierce County’s mission.

You can also make a monetary donation of any amount to support our free mental health programs, education, resources, and community connection throughout Pierce County.

Whether you sponsor, donate, give in-kind, attend, or simply share our event, there’s a place for you in carrying the light.

Interested in supporting the event? Reach out to [email protected] or visit our website to learn more.

Together, we carry the light. 💙💛

Today is World Mental Health Day. 💚

Today, people around the world are making space for conversations about mental health, but at NAMI Pierce County, this is the work we believe in every single day.

Every day, we work to create spaces where people feel seen, heard, supported, and reminded that they are not alone. Through support groups, education, community events, outreach, advocacy, and conversations that help break down stigma, we’re working toward a community where everyone has access to hope and connection.

World Mental Health Day may happen once a year, but mental health matters every day.
Today and always, let’s keep talking. Keep listening. Keep showing up for one another.

We’re grateful to Weekly Volcano for shining a light on the importance of mental health resources for youth and young adults in our community.

In this recent feature, our Program Coordinator, Becca Boston, shares part of her personal mental health journey, the impact of finding support, and how those experiences have helped shape the work she does today.

At NAMI Pierce County, we believe that lived experience has the power to create connection, break down stigma, and remind others that they are not alone.

Your story matters. Your journey matters. And no matter where you are in that journey, support is available.

Thank you to Weekly Volcano and journalist Keelin Everly-Lang for helping us continue these important conversations and highlighting resources available throughout Pierce County.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. 💜

Domestic violence can leave impacts that extend far beyond what others can see, including lasting effects on mental health, safety, trust, and a person’s sense of self.

This month, we honor survivors. We remember those whose lives have been lost. And we stand with those who may still be finding their way toward safety and healing.

Believe survivors. Listen without judgment. Offer support without pressure. And remember that leaving, healing, and rebuilding can look different for every person.

Love should never hurt. Survivors deserve to be heard, believed, and supported.

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, support is available through the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-SAFE (7233) or by texting START to 88788.

Faith and mental health are deeply connected, and every voice deserves a seat at the table. 💙

NAMI Pierce County is working to bring NAMI FaithNet to our community, creating space for connection, understanding, and support across Pierce County’s many faiths, spiritual traditions, beliefs, and lived experiences.

As we begin this work, we’re forming an advisory board to help shape what FaithNet looks like right here in Pierce County. We’re looking for people with diverse perspectives who are passionate about building bridges between faith, spirituality, and mental health.

✨ Different beliefs. Shared humanity.

We’re excited to announce that Victoria “Toya” Fragoso will be performing LIVE at The Light We Carry! ✨

A Tacoma-based singer-songwriter and second-generation Mexican American artist, Toya blends alternative, pop, and folk into music that is intimate, honest, and rooted in real lived experience.

But Toya’s work goes beyond music.

As a mental health advocate and community builder, she creates songs that invite people to slow down, reflect, reconnect with themselves and making her voice a beautiful fit for an evening centered around hope, connection, and belonging.

Toya also hosts Tuesday with Toya on Radio Tacoma, where she highlights independent artists from across the Pacific Northwest and shares the stories behind their music.

We’re honored to have Toya bring her music and heart to The Light We Carry: Community Gala & Fundraiser benefiting NAMI Pierce County.

📅 November 14
📍 Meridian Habitat Park
🕠 Doors open at 5:30 PM

Come hear Toya perform, connect with our community, and help us continue providing free mental health education, support, and resources throughout Pierce County.

We can’t wait to share this special evening with you. 💚
