13th Annual Virtual Walk for Mental Health 2025



Dear Panhandle Community,

1 in 5 people are affected by mental illness: our families, our friends, our neighbors, church members, and our community. Often, substance abuse, school and work problems, family dysfunction, homelessness, and suicide are caused by the underlying issue of mental illness. It affects Amarillo. It affects us. Let us work together to: raise awareness, end stigma, encourage treatment, and improve mental health services in our community.

In 2025, in order to use our time, energy, and funds most efficiently, we are holding our annual fundraiser virtually. This year, any state funding is uncertain and our resources are stretched, but we are committed to continuing to provide free mental health services in our area! We will be posting recovery testimonials on our Walk website to share how programs provided by NAMI Texas Panhandle and AAMHC Agape Center have helped individuals and families impacted by mental illness in our community. We are encouraging our community leaders, mental health peers, families, friends and health providers to donate to our cause. All funds will be divided between NAMI Texas Panhandle and AAMHC-Agape Center, both 501(c)3 nonprofits. Funds will support their FREE, vital, unduplicated mental health services to hundreds of people in the Texas Panhandle. Ask about their:
  • Support groups
