Project Summary:

Advancing Behavioral Health Initiative Phase I

Mental Health Matters is a project within AHW's Advancing Behavioral Health Initiative, an eight-year, $20 million initiative bringing together 10 community coalitions from across Wisconsin to address pressing mental health needs within their communities. A three-phase initiative, phase one served as a funded learning and planning phase, supporting community coalitions in developing a critical project focus and implementation plan.

Through the Mental Health Matters project, partners sought to develop an implementation plan that would leverage strong partnerships for policy and systems change to support healthier children and families within the Eau Claire community through comprehensive prevention and early identification strategies.

This project is part of AHW's Advancing Behavioral Health Initiative, an eight-year, $20 million initiative bringing together 10 community coalitions from across Wisconsin to address pressing mental health needs within their communities.
