Nonprofit Westchester Strong: NAMI Westchester


May is Mental Health Awareness Month and NAMI Westchester traditionally hosts and participates in many activities throughout Westchester that build awareness of the importance of supporting mental health.

NAMI Westchester has made certain that even at this time of physical distancing, people with mental illness and their families are not alone; NAMI Westchester is still in our community to help and provide hope. Although it is currently not possible to gather in a public way, NAMI Westchester knows it is critically important to support mental health, as an increase in mental health symptoms are increasing at this time.

What NAMI Westchester has done and will do:

  • Increased Help Line hours, which are now 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and answered by a live, trained person who has up-to-date information to share.

  • Support groups for families and for those living with mental illness are continuing virtually. 

  • Presentations for all audiences are being offered being held using video conferencing –  families, businesses, school staff, community and business organizations, houses of worship and more. 

  • On May 7, In Our Own Voice presentation will be held at 7 p.m. Two individuals living in recovery will share their stories accompanied by a video, followed by questions and answers. If you would like to join, please call (914) 592-5458. 

  • On May 30, Virtual 5K Your Way! will take place. The annual community event has been transitioned to a virtual one - NAMIWalks Your Way: Westchester”. This effort is traditionally the largest mental health event in the county and a great way to spread awareness of the importance of supporting mental health.
