“NAMI is the Secret Weapon” – LA Mayor Karen Bass Emphatically Supports Mental Health Awareness at NAMIWalks

LA Mayor Karen Bass stepped onto the stage at the 20th Anniversary NAMIWalks Mental Health Fest and gave an emphatic speech supporting mental health awareness and stated NAMI as “the secret weapon” against stigma and despair among family members and peers working to manage their mental health.

In the 3-minute clip that you can see below, Mayor Bass calls NAMI to “seize the moment” and spark a movement throughout LA and the country to motivate people to recognize mental illness as simply illness.
