Pizza Party on Tuesday, March 14th! |
|
Join us at Deschutes Junction Pizza Grill Taphouse, meet our board members, and learn about our programs! |
|
We have been busy here at NAMI Central Oregon, with new programs, plans to expand into our rural communities, restarting in-person support groups and classes, and presenting Ending the Silence to Central Oregon high schools.
What started as a small group of families gathered around a kitchen table in 1979 has blossomed into the nation's leading voice on mental health all because of the generosity of volunteers!
In appreciation of our amazing volunteers, we are hosting a FREE pizza night! Come and enjoy FREE pizza & one FREE non-alcoholic drink!

Tuesday, March 14th from 6 to 8 pm

SAVE THE DATE! Saturday, May 20th! |
|
Every year NAMIWalks are held throughout the nation. This year, we host our VERY FIRST independent walk!
Proceeds from NAMIWalks Central Oregon will help us provide FREE community mental health education and support programs for families and individuals impacted by mental health conditions, as well as training and presentations for the schools and communities that support them.
This event is a casual walk - about 1.5 miles out and 1.5 miles back. We decided to walk the Dry Canyon Trail in Redmond, as the path is paved, making it an ideal location for all fitness levels!
We are proud to be able to offer this event to our community. It will be a time to gather in a safe, supportive environment to bring awareness to mental health.
