NAMIWalks NJ

Welcome!
In 2020, we are celebrating 18 years of NAMIWalks, the nation’s largest series of mental health awareness and fundraising events. We are pleased to present a walk for our times, NAMIWalks Your Way New Jersey: A Virtual Event, which was held on September 26, 2020! Our collective mental health needs are currently at their greatest and NAMI NJ’s programs and advocacy are needed more than ever. You can help us ensure that we are there for all. However you participate in NAMIWalks NJ you will be joining NAMI’s national movement!
Thank you for your support of NAMIWalks Your Way. We’re not done yet! It’s not too late to be a part of this amazing experience and help your community!
Hundreds of people participated in NAMIWalks Your Way on September 26! Nearly 900 engaged with us in some way – whether as a virtual walker, an actual walker, a sponsor, a contributor to or attendee of our virtual event. THANK YOU to ALL! We had fun, learned, shared and raised awareness about mental wellness. If you missed some or all of our virtual event, it is available on NAMI New Jersey’s Facebook page.
NAMI NJ provides free support groups, educational information, advocacy and so much more to people living with mental health conditions and their families. NAMIWalks raises the funds needed for these programs. Demand for NAMI NJ’s support groups has soared since the pandemic began and we need to continue to serve our communities.
Please be as generous as you can in these extraordinary times. Help ensure that NAMI NJ is there for you, your family and friends.
