DONATE

Walk with NAMI Tulare County is our annual key fundraiser and mental health awareness campaign:  A day of raising awareness, offering hope and encouraging change.

Millions of Americans are affected by mental illness, an illness often surrounded by stigma and silence. One in five U.S. adults experiences a mental health condition in a given year and fewer than half get the help they need. Half of all lifetime mental health conditions begin by age 14 and 75% by age 24. Early intervention can help individuals with mental illness live productive, dignified lives and achieve their goals. 

Together, we can make a difference. We encourage walkers to collect donations in support of their participation in the Walk. Proceeds from the Walk will be used in Tulare County to provide the following free mental health services and programs:

• Support, education, and resource materials
• Advocacy to replace stigma with understanding
• Advocacy for equitable government and private sector policies for improved opportunities for housing, rehabilitation, and meaningful jobs for individuals living with mental illness
• Charitable community contributions for individuals living with mental illness
