It’s a new day for mental health, and I’m going to seize it — by participating in NAMIWalks Your Way 2022. This event raises funds for NAMI’s free, top-rated programs at a time when we need it most. It gives awareness of our cause a real boost, because so many people are free to open up and share their stories. NAMIWalks is a powerful community builder.  

It’s a promising time, but a challenging one as well. Our dream is Mental Health for All and will be until it’s a reality. The cause is personal for many of us, which is why I’m personally asking you to support me.

This year I am walking in memory of my brother, Chris Yager, who lived a courageous life with Bipolar Disorder. Please join me at the Nami Memorial Service at 8 am before the walk. I will be speaking about The Hero's Journey. It has been three years since Chris's death, and I am honored to encourage others who are also grieving. 

I would be grateful if you added yourself to my donor list. Every dollar makes a difference, so whatever you can offer will be appreciated by our local NAMI and me. It’s easy to add your contribution. You can do it right here on my page.
