The countdown is on… we’re just ONE MONTH AWAY from NAMIWalks Connecticut 2026!

There’s something really special building this year and it’s all about the people who support and encourage each other.

The ones who invite a friend.
The ones who bring their family.
The ones who say, “come walk with me.”

That’s how this day becomes more than just an event, it becomes a community.

As we get closer to May 16, take a moment and think:

Who could you invite to be part of this with you?

A quick message, a simple ask, a shared post, that’s all it takes to bring someone new into something meaningful.

Because when we show up together, we create something powerful:
Connection
Support
Hope

And yes… we’re going to have a lot of fun doing it. 😁

From new experiences to uplifting moments throughout the day, this year’s Walk is shaping up to be one you won’t want to miss.
