Virtual 2021 NAMIWalks San Joaquin County, Saturday, May 22, 2021

One in three adults in the U.S. are experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression, and one in five are experiencing mental illness. Together with NAMIWalks participants across the country, Northern California, and San Joaquin County, support National Alliance on Mental Illness and join us virtually in the 2021 NAMIWalks Northern California.

Why do we fundraise?
• Provide free, quality educational classes & support groups to both individuals with mental health conditions and their families.
• Provide free educational programs to care providers.
• Advocacy to improve the lives of individuals with mental illness.
• Support research/understanding of brain disorders.
• Sponsor community speakers on mental health-related topics.
What is a virtual walk?
You have the creativity to choose your own activity such as walking your dog, exercising, meditating, gardening, golfing, and cooking and to share online with friends and families.
