Mental illness affects 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. each year, and the Greater Baltimore region is no exception. Far too many of our friends, neighbors, and families face mental health challenges without access to adequate support, care, or resources. That’s why NAMIWalks Greater Baltimore exists - to raise awareness and the critical funds needed to improve mental health services for our community.
The stakes are real:
*Young adults are in crisis. National data shows that more than 1 in 3 young adults (ages 18–25) experienced a mental illness in the past year—a 50% increase over the last decade.
*Medicaid is essential. In Maryland, Medicaid is the largest payer of mental health services. Over 1.6 million Marylanders rely on Medicaid, including many who live in Baltimore. Cuts to this funding threaten access to therapy, Medic*tion, crisis services, and care coordination.
*Suicide is the second leading cause of death among people aged 10–34 in the U.S.—a stark reminder of the consequences of untreated mental illness.
Your participation in NAMIWalks directly supports free local programs like peer-led support groups, crisis intervention training, and family education that help people across Greater Baltimore find hope and recovery. Research shows that peer support (care delivered by people with lived experience) can significantly improve outcomes in mental health recovery.
This is not just a walk. It’s a movement for equity, access, and mental health for all. When you walk with us, you’re funding change that can’t wait.
