New Year brings New Beginnings! I am excited to announce that Max Willey will be assuming the role of president. Serving in this position over the past several years has been both an honor and a privilege, and I am confident that the affiliate will continue to thrive under his leadership.💚

I take pride in NAMI Coastal’s ongoing impact within our community and remain deeply appreciative of the support it provided my family during challenging times.💚

This transition is not a goodbye-- I will continue to serve on the board and as Youth and Young Adult Outreach Coordinator. 💚

With gratitude, Susannah Uroskie

✨ Happy New Year from NAMI Coastal Virginia! ✨
As we welcome 2026, we want to take a moment to thank our community — our peers, families, volunteers, partners, and supporters — who showed up with compassion, courage, and care this past year. 💙
The start of a new year brings fresh hope, renewed strength, and the reminder that no one has to face mental health challenges alone. In the year ahead, we remain committed to education, support, advocacy, and connection for individuals and families across Coastal Virginia.
Here’s to another year of ending stigma, building community, and supporting mental health for all. 🌊✨

🎉 Meet Lovey the Llama – NAMI Coastal Virginia’s newly named mascot! 🦙💛

Lovey was named by one of our amazing community members from Chesapeake, who chose it for its meaning: used as an affectionate form of address and approachable to all, just like NAMI’s mission of love and welcome for everyone. 💕

Did you know? In mental health and child development, a “lovey” (or comfort object) helps individuals self-soothe, manage stress, and feel secure—exactly what Lovey represents for our community!

We’re so excited for Lovey to join us at events, programs, and outreach efforts, spreading comfort, joy, and mental health awareness. 🌟
