The National Alliance on Mental Illness in San Diego (NAMI San Diego) is the community’s voice on mental illness. We are a part of grass-roots, nonprofit, national NAMI organization, and also an affiliate of NAMI California. NAMI San Diego was founded in 1978 by family members of people with mental illness. We have a threefold mission:
‣ Support people with mental illnesses and their families by helping them find coping mechanisms for their daily struggle with brain disorders.
‣ Educate people who have mental illness, their families, and the general public about mental illness with the goal of dispelling ignorance and stigma.
‣ Advocate for more research and an improved system of mental health services across the nation. At the heart of NAMI San Diego’s mission is the sharing of information and striving to end the stigma associated with mental illness. To this end, we offer a Helpline, support groups, educational meetings, newsletters, a lending library and a number of classes on mental illness held at various locations throughout San Diego County.

Every NAMIWalks team has a story. This week, we’re highlighting the Grow Through Life Counseling team. 💚

For them, Walk Day is all about visibility, connection, and hope. Kara shared, “You are not broken. You are human. Healing takes time, and even small steps forward matter. You don’t have to do this alone.” Glen added, “You have within you power that far surpasses the strength of your emotions. Seeking help means finding a collaborator to help you harness that force within you.”

When people see the team on Walk Day, Erica hopes everyone knows that there are always people ready to listen and help, and Rachel reminds everyone, “We see you. We are you.” Every person is welcome in this conversation, and our collective well-being depends on supporting one another.

Why do you walk for NAMIWalks? Share your story below!
