We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Mayor Neal E. McIntyre and the City Council for their continued support and recognition of mental health in our communities through the official proclamation designating May 2026 as Mental Health Awareness Month in Fernley, NV. 💚

Mental Health Awareness Month is an opportunity to help break stigma, encourage conversations, promote understanding, and remind individuals and families that they are not alone. Proclamations like this demonstrate the importance of community partnerships and local leadership in supporting mental wellness, recovery, and hope throughout Northern Nevada.

At NAMI Western Nevada, we remain committed to providing education, advocacy, support, and outreach to individuals and families affected by mental health conditions across our region.

Thank you again to the City of Fernley for standing with us in raising awareness and supporting mental health for all.

This weekend was a powerful reminder of what community, service, and compassion truly look like in action.

At NAMI Western Nevada, we were honored to be part of multiple meaningful events that brought people together for connection, remembrance, and support.

From our May the 4th Be With You outreach nights—filled with laughter, families, and community partners—to standing alongside our law enforcement community at the 13th Annual Nevada Law Enforcement Memorial Ride, each moment reflected the strength of unity and purpose.

We also had the privilege of attending the funeral service honoring Churchill County Sheriff Hickox. It was a moving and heartfelt tribute, and we extend our deepest condolences and gratitude to his family, colleagues, and community. His service and dedication will not be forgotten.

Weekends like this highlight why we do what we do—supporting mental health, standing beside our first responders, and building stronger, more connected communities.

To everyone who showed up, participated, supported, and served—thank you. 💙

Thank you to everyone who came out last night and showed your support—even with the weather not exactly on our side. A very special thank you to K9 Boston and Reno Fire for a great demo and some pup love. We truly appreciate the community showing up for such an important cause!

We’re planning to try again tonight and will be keeping a close eye on the weather. We’ll keep everyone updated if anything changes.

The force is strong with this community, and your support means everything—so fingers crossed for clearer skies! 💫

We hope to see you all TONIGHT!
