How does NAMI, with its invaluable services, life-changing programs and comprehensive education and guidance, do it? Look no further than the mirror. It’s you who powers the difference that NAMI makes. And you. And you and you. It’s the whole impressive community of NAMIWalkers, and the unity that proves itself with every event. Won’t you join the joy for this year’s most important mental health fundraising event? Proceeds help raise awareness, fight stigma, and fund vital mental health programs and services in the community including support groups, presentations, educational classes, and the Connect with Hope Warmline where compassionate peer listeners help guide callers to resources. Thanks to funds raised in the past years, we’re excited to share an inspiring update on our expanding NAMI GLAC, celebrating 40 years in LA County, outreach across LA County. This year, we’re launching support groups in Mandarin, Armenian, and Filipino and adding more in Spanish and Japanese ensuring culturally responsive care for our diverse communities. We’ve also doubled our NAMI on Campus in high schools and colleges and introduced new groups for individuals impacted by the fires, faith-based communities, frontline workers, transitional age youth (TAY) and those of African ancestry. To keep these free and accessible we need you to join us at this year’s NAMIWalks!

The EnergizeHER™ Summit offers the women’s self-care panel and mental health & wellness panel where impactful women will provide discussions for women of color in an open conversation among women of different ages, backgrounds and experiences. It aims to bring together a community of women of color to discuss strategies, tips and techniques for practicing self-care and tending to our mental wellness in a culturally-sensitive and mindful manner.

We’ll be hosting two panels: Self-Care panel and Mental Health & Wellness panel.

The discussion will cover various topics such as mental health awareness, physical wellness, spiritual practices and emotional wellbeing, with an emphasis on how these practices intersect with the unique experiences and challenges faced by women of color as they fulfill their many roles of woman, wife, significant other, mom, sister, aunt, niece and friend.

The panelists will share their insights and experiences on how they prioritize self-care, navigate systemic oppression and maintain their identities while practicing self-love.

Attendees will leave with a better understanding of the importance of self-care and practical tools for minding their mental wellness business in their daily lives.
