Mental Health Matters - Chippewa & Eau Claire Counties
Impact
Over the last eight years, the coalition has worked to implement research-based strategies to build protective factors - social connections, caring relationships, and meaningful participation - that lead to resilience and positive youth mental health in general. At the core of these strategies was the idea that in order to treat youth depression at scale, one must build foundational practices that focus on protective factors rather than treating risk factors alone. To do so, MHM gathered leaders from local government entities, educational bodies, healthcare, community-based, and faith-based organizations representing multiple member agencies.
