CBS Los Angeles has announced its collaboration with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) for the upcoming NAMIWalks Greater LA County event, scheduled for Saturday, May 16. This partnership comes during Mental Health Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about mental health conditions and reducing the stigma that often surrounds them. The annual walk aims to bring together community members, advocates, and organizations to raise crucial funds for mental health programs and support services across the region.

The NAMIWalks event is one of the largest mental health awareness campaigns in the country, and the Greater LA County edition is expected to draw hundreds of participants. Funds raised through the walk will directly benefit NAMI’s local initiatives, including free support groups, educational classes, and crisis intervention training. CBS LA’s involvement highlights the media’s role in amplifying mental health conversations, encouraging open dialogue, and promoting resources for those in need. Participants are invited to join the walk, either in person or virtually, to show solidarity with individuals and families affected by mental health challenges. The event underscores a collective commitment to fostering a community where mental well-being is prioritized and accessible to all.
