SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 2026 AT 9 AM
NAMI-NAMIWalks Stanislaus
Join NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Health) for NAMIWalks Stanislaus. This year’s theme, “Together We Are NAMIWalks,” reminds us that every step we take is stronger when we walk side by side. Together, we break down barriers. Together, we create change. Together, we are unstoppable.

NAMIWalks is more than just a walk — it’s a movement. Join for a 1-mile fun walk, 5k, or challenge yourself with the 5-mile fun walk. Along the way, enjoy community resource vendors and food vendors who will be there to support, connect, and celebrate with you.

This is a day where individuals, families, and communities come together for one powerful purpose: Mental Health for All. Every dollar raised fuels NAMI’s free programs, support groups, and advocacy efforts right here in our community.

Be part of the movement. Bring your friends, family, and coworkers—because no one walks alone.

Our 11th Annual Youth Leadership Conference is on
Thursday March 5th, 2026 is the day.
SAACR invited the AAPI students from Modesto City School District High Schools to participate.
A day full of learning from face to face hearing from the Asian leaders in Stanislaus County sharing their life stories.
What better way to get answers directly from the different Workshop speakers explaining their journey from refugee camps to Teacher of the Year, MJC Counselor, Mental Health Coordinator, RN, Sheriff Detective and Business Owner.
These role models took time of their busy workday to be at this event because they believe that they will make a difference in the lives of the students.
Thank you to the 6 Speakers. We are grateful to you!

URGENT Please read.

Stanislaus County has experienced a recent increase in suspected drug-related overdoses and poisonings. These incidents are sudden, devastating, and often preventable — impacting families, friends, and our entire community.

Carrying naloxone can save a life.
You don’t have to be a medical professional, and you don’t have to know someone who uses drugs — you just have to care. Naloxone is safe, easy to use, and can reverse an opioid-related overdose or poisoning.

Free naloxone is available by calling BHRS Prevention Services at 209-525-5316. If you or someone you know may be at risk, treatment and support are available through the BHRS Access Line at 1-888-376-6246.

Happy New Year!
Let’s celebrate the New Lunar Year of the Horse.
Everyone is invited to watch this spectacular demonstration of skilled performers from San Francisco Leung’s White Crane Dragon & Lion Dance
in front of the Asian Market 2425 McHenry Avenue in Modesto.
Wear your best native outfits!
