Walk for Mental Illness

United Parish's Mental Health Committee is organizing a team for the Massachusetts NAMI Walk for the first time this year!

You're probably wondering, what is NAMI, and what is the NAMI Walk?

-NAMI is the National Alliance on Mental Illness, a nationwide, grassroots mental health organization that offers educational programs, supports, and has a toll-free helpline. It began in 1977.

-The NAMI Walk raises awareness about mental health care. The first walk was in 2002.

Its goals are simple and two-fold:

share our stories to eliminate stigma and raise funds to support the work of local NAMI affiliates.

Walk Details:

When: Saturday, May 20, 9am-1pm

Where: Artesani Park 1255 Soldiers Field Road, Brighton, MA 02135

The walk is about 3 miles.
