💚 Why This Walk Matters More Than Ever?

With recent cuts to mental health funding, local programs like ours are being stretched at a time when the need has never been greater. People in our community and other communities we serve rely on our peer support services. Our peers need to feel they are not alone on their mental health journey.

The 2025 NAMI Central Iowa Walk fuels free support groups, classes, workshops, and resources for those facing real challenges right now.

💚💜💚You Are Part of the Solution

We’re deeply grateful for your support so far — every dollar raised has a direct impact. And there’s still time to join us and help close the gap to our goal:
✔ Start or join a team
✔ Make a donation
✔ Become a visible advocate for mental health

Let’s walk for connection, for hope, and for healing.

September is National Su***de Prevention and Awareness Month.

Join us in breaking the stigma: Talking about su***de isn’t harmful — silence is. One honest, caring conversation can save a life. ***dePreventionMonth

We are now only 13 days away! Our hope is the Ames community and surrounding communities we serve will show up together and gather for such an important movement! We can make a difference by coming together in unity, build community relationships, connections. We hope you choose to spend your Sunday with all of us in the NAMI Central Iowa, community.

Each September, NAMI recognizes Su***de Prevention Month as a time to raise awareness, spread hope, and spark meaningful action around one of the most urgent mental health issues of our time. Suicidal thoughts, like mental health conditions, can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or background.
