On Saturday, September 23, 2023, at George Mason University, NAMI Northern Virginia will bring the community together for an exciting and engaging new event that will shine a light on our collective mental health needs, bring awareness to and advocate for open discussions, and raise funds for NAMI Northern Virginia’s free-of-charge programming for families and individuals.
NAMI Northern Virginia meets people where they are at to offer mental health education, support, and advocacy. This year’s NAMIWalks Northern Virginia will be a party, celebrating the incredible diversity that makes up our area. And what brings people together better than a festival?
Year after year, NAMIWalks engages people to share their stories, enables them to find hope for recovery, and provides opportunities to build community through engaging programs, events, and activations. And this year, we want to represent the mental health needs of ALL our community.

NAMI Northern Virginia offers 99% of our programs and services throughout the community for free — that means attending any of our support groups, classes, presentations, or one of our other programs costs nothing. We are only able to offer these critical services and programs at zero cost to you because of the feedback received via our program participant surveys. These responses allow us to show the impact and reach of our work, and since we have started providing these programs virtually, fewer and fewer people have been sharing their feedback with us.
So, if you attended one or more of our NAMI Support Groups, last month, please take this opportunity to fill out the survey linked at the post below.
