Bring the entire family, including your dog, to NAMIWalks Utah on Saturday, May 18, 2024.
This event is crucial in promoting mental health awareness and resources for all, especially considering that over 550,000 adults in Utah are affected by mental health conditions.
Mental Health supporters, families, caregiviers, and anyone interested in supporting mental health initiatives are invited to participate in this free and open-to-the-public event.
