Walk with NAMI Southeast WI in 2023
Take a stand, and a WALK, for "Mental Health for All".
We're all in this together, and together will walk for mental health awareness and support.
We all must face our challenges one step at a time. Join NAMIWalks Southeast Wisconsin on October 7 at Milwaukee County Zoo, and make those steps matter for mental health in our community.
NAMIWalks 2023 represents a powerful chance to publicly declare your commitment to mental health awareness, education, support, and for ending the stigma. The health of our families, neighborhoods, workplaces, and schools depends on a community of care, and you are part of this supportive network.
Whether you're a previous participant or a new voice waiting to be heard, we want you know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. This is a community that cares.
