What’s going on with Medicaid?

Hearing a lot about the federal budget and Medicaid? Can’t follow it all? Don’t know how it might impact you?

Join us for a Bite-Sized Brief on the Budget and Medicaid, part of our Community Wellness Event series – Monday, June 23, 12:30 PM. While you eat lunch, log in for a 30-minute legislative update so you are in the know and up-to-speed. Registration is required.

Pathways to Hope is a two-day interfaith mental health conference open to the public.

This powerful event seeks to eliminate stigma by fostering deeper conversations around faith, mental health, and recovery. We bring together faith leaders, mental health professionals, people with lived experience, and community members to explore how spirituality and mental wellness intersect — and how together, we can strengthen community healing.

NAMI Northern Virginia – Awards and Honors

NAMICon 2025, NAMI’s annual national conference, was quite a whirlwind for everyone at NAMI Northern Virginia. On the opening day of the conference, NAMI Northern Virginia was named the 2025 Outstanding Affiliate of the Year! And on the final day, our Executive Director, Rebecca Kiessling, was voted in by the full NAMI membership as a member of the NAMI National Board.

None of our work is possible without the dedication and devotion of our volunteers, and the generous support of our partners and donors.

Congratulations to everyone in our NAMI Northern Virginia community.
