As the American public increasingly understands the critical nature of accessible, affordable mental health care, so do the demands on NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, known locally as NAMI Montgomery County PA.

To support its free educational programs, power its advocacy efforts, and strengthen outreach to the community, NAMI presents its largest mental health awareness and fundraising event of the year, NAMIWalks Montgomery County PA, on May 4. The mental health awareness event, held at Temple University Ambler Campus (580 Meetinghouse Road, Ambler), will feature free activities including face painting, character visits, a live band, a food truck, and more, as well as keynote speakers. Walk registration opens at 9:00 AM, and the walk begins promptly at 11:00 AM.

With one in five people experiencing mental illness at any given time, NAMIWalks Montgomery County PA expects to attract hundreds of residents across Montgomery County to celebrate mental health recovery, to let community members know they are not alone, and to honor the memory of loved ones lost to suicide.  

There is no registration fee for NAMIWalks, but fundraising is encouraged. One hundred percent of funds raised stay local, supporting NAMI Montgomery County PA’s free mental health programs, resources, and services. With NAMI, people find help and hope.
