For Mental Health Awareness Month, we've been sharing mini toolkits each week, filled with resources, tips, and tools to empower our community in supporting mental health.
This week, we're shining a spotlight on 'Local Heroes' — including member organizations that are making a significant impact on mental health in our community. Discover their missions, explore the services they offer, and learn how you can get involved to support their efforts. From providing essential mental health services and support groups to offering educational workshops and community outreach programs, these local heroes are dedicated to improving the well-being of our community!
Connect, collaborate, and share insights at our Coffee with Collaborative. Whether you're looking to expand your network, find potential collaborators, or simply enjoy good conversation over coffee, this event is designed for you.
