NAMI Anchorage

💚 Happening today! 💚

Join us for this month’s On The Menu: Lunch & Learn from 12:00–1:00 PM on Zoom.

This month’s topic is:

The Elephant in the Room: The Intersectionality of LGBTQIA2S+ and Addiction

We’re excited to welcome Rory Carleton from Southcentral Foundation for an important conversation about mental wellness, recovery, and creating more inclusive support systems.

Whether you join to listen, learn, or engage in the discussion, we’d love to have you with us.

In 2024, Alaska officially recognized Juneteenth as a state holiday, joining communities across the country in honoring this important milestone in American history. Throughout Alaska, Juneteenth celebrations provide opportunities to learn, connect, celebrate culture, and reflect on the values of freedom, dignity, and community.⁠

🌞 Sunshine, snacks, and community? Count us in.

Our Summer Solstice Picnic is happening this Saturday, and we’d love for you to join us!

📦 Big changes are happening at NAMI Anchorage! 💚

Our shelves are emptying, our boxes are filling up, and we're getting ready for our move to our new home at Umoja CoWorking!

As we continue packing throughout June, please note that there will be no Saturday Crafternoons during the month of June. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we prepare for this exciting transition.

We'd also like to extend a huge thank you to Alaskan AIDS Assistance Association (Four A's) Anchorage for generously donating so many boxes to help make this move possible. Community support like this makes a tremendous difference, and we're so grateful for your kindness and partnership. 🫶🏼

We'll miss seeing everyone at Crafternoon this month, but we can't wait to welcome you back once we're settled into our new space!

Stay tuned for more updates as the move continues. ✨

🍩💚 Thank You! 💚🍩

A huge thank you to everyone who supported our Wiki-licious Donut Fundraiser!

Whether you purchased a box, shared our posts, told a friend, or simply cheered us on, your support helps NAMI Anchorage continue providing free mental health education, advocacy, peer support, and community connection throughout Anchorage.

We’d also like to give a special shoutout to Wiki-Licious Anchorage for partnering with us and helping make this fundraiser possible. We are so grateful for local businesses that believe in supporting the health and well-being of our community. 🫶🏼

BOXES. Lots and lots of boxes.

As NAMI Anchorage prepares for our upcoming move, we're looking for new or gently used cardboard moving boxes to help us pack up our office and settle into our new home.

Larger boxes are especially appreciated, but we'll gladly take boxes of all sizes!

If you have any boxes you'd like to donate, please send us a message or email us at [email protected].

Thank you for helping us make this transition a little easier. Every box helps! 💚
