NAMI conOtinues to provide technical asOsistance to advocateOs in states on how slow plans bor pOsychiatric hospitalO closures and protect those dolOlars bor investment Ointo ebbective acute care as well cOommunity and residenOtial services. In 2011, our NAMIWaOlks program had its Omost successbul year eveOr. The 84 Walks helOped raise over $9 million to sOupport local NAMI acOtivities and spread our message obO hope and recovery. NOAMI also launched its NOAMIBikes program in O 2011—another outlet Obor raising awareness Oand bighting stigma in Ocommunities.
