The local affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, NAMI Baldwin County, is hosting the first free county-wide Mental Health Festival and NAMIWalks Baldwin Team on Saturday, April 30, 2022, from 9:00 a.m. to noon, in Robertsdale’s Honey Bee Park, Hwy 59 North. This will be the NAMI Baldwin kickoff for May as Mental Health Month. The event is free, family friendly and open to the public and car caravans are being organized from Fairhope, Daphne, Bay Minette, Foley, Elberta, Gulf Shores and Orange Beach.

Participants will join the thousands of concerned citizens in over 85 communities across the nation who will walk together to raise money and awareness to ensure that free NAMI programs and services are available when needed. Through NAMIWalks’ public display of support for people affected by mental illness, American communities are changing to ensure that help and hope are available for those in need.

Participating organizations at NAMIWalks Baldwin include the Association for Suicide Prevention, Local Crisis Intervention Teams, AltaPointe, Peer Helpers, Hands on Art for Children, The Bar: Fitness for Women & Youth and music by Cody Green. Booths are still available.
