NAMI Fairfield Invites the Community to Get Involved.

The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Fairfield asks, “How has mental illness affected you?” In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, NAMI Fairfield invites community members to get involved. Do you have a friend or a family member with a mental illness? Maybe it is you who is living with mental illness? Are you a caregiver? Or perhaps you work with someone who is mentally ill? Whatever the connection, get involved in NAMI Fairfield’s community events.  

Don’t let the name fool you. NAMI Fairfield serves the towns of Westport, Weston, Wilton, Norwalk, Easton, Fairfield, Bridgeport, Stratford, Trumbull, Monroe and Newtown.

There is a lot happening, including a walkathon this Saturday, support groups, educational programs, a chance to write about your experiences and more. Find out more about activities taking place in May (and all year round) by visiting our websites: www.StigmaFreeCT.com and www.NAMIFairfield.org.
