NAMI Miami-Dade Walk for Mental Health Awareness
Sponsored By
May 10 @ 8:00 am - 10:00 am
In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month in May, NAMI Miami-Dade County (National Alliance on Mental Illness) will host its Fifth Annual Mental Health Awareness Walk on May 10, 2025, at 8:00 AM at loanDepot Park. This inspiring community event raises awareness, provides support, and generates critical funds for NAMI Miami-Dade’s free mental health programs.
The walk is a vital initiative dedicated to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and addressing the rising need for accessible mental health support. In 2024, NAMI Miami-Dade reached over 98,000 individuals through its awareness, prevention, outreach, education, training, and support programs.
“Now more than ever, people need a safe place to seek help for mental health conditions, whether for themselves or their loved ones,” said Susan Holtzman, NAMI Miami-Dade President & CEO. “Last year, we had 3,500 participants, and this year we expect 4,000. It’s 4,000 people coming together to learn, connect, and support each other and their community. The funds we raise support our ability to provide education, support, and advocacy for people with mental health conditions and their loved ones all year long. Join them, join us, contribute, and come on out for a great day at the stadium.”
“We invite everyone to take part in creating meaningful change for the community by joining the 2025 Walk for Mental Health Awareness. By participating in NAMIWalks Miami-Dade on Saturday, May 10th, 2025, at the iconic loanDepot Park, you are joining the largest, most vibrant mental health movement in the country,” said Kate Edelson, Director of Fundraising and Special Events.
Mental illness impacts 1 in 5 people each year. In 2022, the CDC reported that 13.2 million U.S. adults seriously considered suicide. The growing psychological and financial pressures of recent
years have intensified the need for mental health support, making NAMI’s programs and outreach efforts more important than ever. NAMI Miami-Dade’s free services complement clinical and therapeutic care, following evidence-based standards to meet the growing demand for support in our community.
