WHY WE WALK

- Stigma and discrimination prevent people from seeking help and treatment
- With treatment and support many people recover and live full lives
- We walk to build awareness and raise funds to offer education and support at no cost to those in need

How will the funds raised be used?
|
NAMI affiliates provide education and support programs FREE OF CHARGE to local communities and advocate at the federal, state and city level for nondiscriminatory policies that assist the mentally ill.
New Mexico Leads Nation In Per Capita Mental Illness
per the
Behavioral Health 2012 report
produced by
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Nationally, the report estimates that 17.8 percent of individuals suffer from mental illness. Compared to other states, New Mexico showed the highest rate of mental illness: 23.6 percent.
The funds raised by this walk will be used to expand NAMI signature programs and grow outreach to local communities.
