Virginia is a non-profit, grassroots organization
that addresses the mental illness needs of our
community, replaces stigma with understanding,
and helps thousands of families and individuals
each year.

NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness,
is the nation’s largest grassroots mental health
organization dedicated to building better lives for the
millions of Americans affected by mental illness.
From coast-to-coast and around the globe, mental
illness affects everyone. Every year, regardless of
race, age, religion, or economic status, mental illness
impacts the lives of at least one in four adults and
one in five children across the United States—that is
nearly 60 million Americans.
NAMI has over 1,000 affiliates in communities
across the country who engage in advocacy, support,
and education. Members of NAMI are families,
friends, and people living with mental illnesses,
such as: major depression, schizophrenia, bipolar
disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic
disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and
borderline personality disorder.
NAMIWalks Nationwide
The largest mental health education and
fundraising effort in America, NAMIWalks brings
together thousands of individuals and supporters
to celebrate mental illness recovery, to honor those
who have lost their lives to mental illness, and to
help raise funds to combat stigma and promote
awareness.
This year marks the 13th Anniversary of NAMIWalks.
In 2014, 83 NAMIWalks events raised almost $11
million to support local programs and initiatives
that improve the lives of persons impacted by
mental illness. NAMIWalks hosts teams from all
over the community and features a program of local
celebrities and community leaders . . . along with
food, information booths, and prominent recognition
of sponsors.
