Virtual walk to raise mental health awareness

Since 2007 NAMIWalks Minnesota has brought thousands of people together each fall to raise awareness about mental illnesses, celebrate hope, and support the efforts of NAMI Minnesota (National Alliance on Mental Illness) to provide education, support, and advocacy for children and adults with mental illnesses and their families. This year’s NAMIWalks will be a little different but has the same aims.

The modified 2020 NAMIWalks Virtual Walk event is set for, Saturday, Sept. 26, 11 am-3 pm, and has a new format that will combine virtual “socially distanced” components with “real life” safe-distance celebrations. Nearly 800 people from all over the state have already signed up.
