NAMIWalk

The NAMIWalk is an event put on by the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) that builds community and raises awareness for mental health. The Horizon All-Stars have been champions for mental health by participating in each NAMIWalk for the last ten years. This year we had forty-four team members who walked either in-person or virtually on October 15, 2022. Melanie Dunn, Sandi Wills, and Amy Palermo worked the Horizon Health and Wellness booth during the event.

By participating in the NAMIWalk, we join others to stop the stigma around mental health and replace it with hope and possibilities.  The walk brings us one step closer to helping those in need by empowering and inspiring others and celebrating mental health awareness. If you missed walking this year, we hope you join next year! #Together4MH
