Events
NAMIWalks Vermont 2025
Thank You, NAMIWalkers! Your enthusiasm, dedication, and support have made a tremendous impact. It was inspiring to see so many people come together to raise awareness for mental health, share their stories, and show solidarity. Despite the less-than-ideal weather conditions, we had a fantastic time walking together for mental health. You can still donate to this year’s Walk! Go to namiwalks.org/vermont to make a post-event donation and help us reach our goal.
Mental Health Advocacy Day 2025
Thank you to everyone who participated in Mental Health Advocacy Day! We had over 200 participants, both virtually and in person, who joined us throughout the day to advocate for meaningful changes to mental health services in Vermont. For those who were unable to attend, we will be showcasing recordings of the event. The evaluation form and day of event video are available below.

Therefore, our organization is currently seeking volunteers to become Sharing Hope facilitators. By joining the Sharing Hope program, you will have the opportunity to bridge the gap that too often exists for members of these communities.
