NAMIWalks Minnesota

Join us on September 27, 2025

Together, we are strong enough to lift hope.
Together, we are NAMIWalks.  

It will take all of us to demand victory over mental illness. That's why we provide a safe space at NAMIWalks in everything we do, for everyone who joins our mission. In fact, we embrace it.

We invite you to take the walk of your life - with NAMIWalks. Each participant will stand by you and walk by your side, every step of the way. 

Together, we will make a powerful change in our community. "Mental Health for All," here we come. 

Don't wait another moment to add your name to our movement. The people who need the help that you empower cannot afford to wait. No matter their mental health challenge, they stand to benefit greatly by your decisiveness today. 

It's a walk, a very special walk. And it's a lifetime's journey - the lifetimes you will change by joining us today. 

This is your NAMIWalks moment.
