We are excited to be hosting
our FIRST NAMI 2009 “Walks for the Mind of America” on October 10th at
HARMON PARK, Lebanon Ohio.
The Walk’s purpose is twofold: increasing mental health awareness and
fundraising. Our walk will be the largest mental health awareness event
held in Warren County.Funds raised help NAMI provide advocacy,
outreach, education and support to anyone whose life is impacted by a
mental health disorder. We also work to eradicate stigma and to promote
an excellent community mental health system.
The Walks’ success depends entirely on the support of people like you
from all walks of life – businesses, church groups, schools, police,
fire fighters, family members, mental health consumers and providers,
politicians, and everyone who recognizes the importance of access to
mental health care.
Each year more families, children, babies in strollers, and dogs of all
shapes and sizes, participate in our walks. And we have fun for all:
face painting, balloons, music, food, even snacks for pets.
