Vision: Working together to enhance and save lives.
Mission: The Mental Health Working Group supports equitable education, awareness, training resources, and additional tools that help employers and employees as they navigate challenges associated with stress management, intra and interpersonal relationships, emotional health, mental health, self-awareness and esteem, substance use, suicide prevention, and grief.
In 2021, after extensive research and membership surveys, the Mental Health Taskforce created the Mental Health and Well-being Report. This report offered insight to our board of directors and aided in the selection of three membership resource recommendations: Youturn Health, Health Links, and Vital Cog.
