MHL Interstate Workgroup
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
— Margaret Mead
The MHLC is launching an MHL Interstate Workgroup to facilitate connections and collaboration between states as they navigate how to successfully integrate mental health literacy into their communities.
Who?
Up to three representatives for each state may be invited to the workgroup. These individuals should be leaders from state, local, and community organizations who are invested in the successful integration of MHL in their state. They should be open to collaboration and networking opportunities.
What?
The workgroup will be laser-focused on implementing mental health literacy. This may include policy guidelines, strategies for advocacy, effective MHL content options, shared opportunities for research and evaluation, best practices, and a safe place for problem-solving.
Upcoming Launch Event
We will launch the workgroup at the MHLC Annual Meeting - a pre-conference session of the 2024 Conference on Advancing School Mental Health at the Hyatt Regency Orlando in Orlando, FL, on Wednesday, December 4th, 2024.
Subsequent meetings will be virtual and occur 4-6 times each year. Additional collaborations among various work group members will be encouraged.
