We’re grateful to partner with Otsuka for this year’s Brainpower Showcase!

Otsuka has embodied a spirit of perseverance, pushing past limitations, challenging assumptions, and creating innovative solutions that support the health and well-being of people and communities.

Their commitment to social impact is rooted in a simple but powerful belief: everyone deserves access to care and the chance to live life on their own terms. As allies and advocates, Otsuka works to reduce inequities, address stigma, and remove barriers standing in the way of mental health support.
We’re honored to join forces with an organization that shares our passion for uplifting every individual’s journey. 💙

Together, we’re building a future where better health is possible for all.

LET'SHONOR MENTAL HEALTH CHAMPIONS WITH NAMIWA AWARDS!

Many people throughout the State of Washington labor long hours, in a variety of ways, with little recognition to further the mission of NAMI. While it is nearly impossible to single out only a few stars from our band of dedicated volunteers, advocates, and supporters, we would like your help in finding some stellar folks to honor.

Using our linked nomination form, please be detailed in why you think your nominee should be honored with a state-wide award!: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfbLYWDrAQywzPZllGZL35_3-RO49xqNFvdFOa2cPB05CJ2EQ/viewform

Nominations due August 22nd! The Annual Awards Reception will be held on Zoom during our conference on September 27th.
Thank you for all you do to make our community stigma free!
