We had an amazing time covering a tabling event at The Gratitude Market in Spotsy this past weekend! 💛✨

This incredible community gathering brought together 60+ vendors, animal rescues, and nonprofits, all serving with open hearts and a shared mission to uplift and support one another. We loved connecting with so many passionate people and organizations making a real difference.

Every week, our dedicated trained facilitators generously share their time to present NAMI In Our Own Voice (IOOV), empowering others to take control of their mental health journeys. Our affiliate is deeply grateful for this opportunity to support individuals in finding strength and resilience within their own stories. Through this powerful presentation, participants gain insight from multiple individuals who break down their mental health stories into three parts: What happened? What helped? What’s next? For more information about IOOV, please contact us or visit us online at namirapp.org.

This weekend, we came together with various organizations and fellow affiliates to promote mental health wellness across Virginia. NAMI Virginia hosted a well organized and inspiring event! Kristy, Yasento, and others on our team, came in support of NAMI Rappahannock. Some of us hung out, most of us walked, and one of us climbed trees!

Yesterday, NAMI Rappahannock, was honored to be invited to attend a special ceremony, celebrating a new mental health crisis center coming to PD16. This crisis center, not only supports individuals in our community, it reduces the burdens currently placed on law-enforcement and healthcare workers. The crisis center is set to open in 2027. Our affiliate is proud of Joe Wickens, Executive Director, RACSB, and his hard work put into making this happen. We know this journey has been cumbersome for him in seeing this project come to life!

Kristy, our affiliate leader, attended the care partner summit as a panelist to disscuss the important role caregivers play while supporting individuals living with schizophrenia or a psychotic disorder. Keeping the dialogue open and the conversation going - chips away at stigma - one caregiver at a time.

You deserve to feel safe in your own mind again.

OCD can take so much energy that you forget what peace feels like, but treatment works. Therapy and medication can help you find your footing again. There is real hope for healing.

You are not stuck forever. 💙
