POLICY: We are convening policy leaders in
communities, states, and in Washington DC,
focused on increasing access to high-quality
affordable mental health and addiction care
and upstream supports. Among our partners are
Bipartisan Policy Center, Hopelab, United States
of Care, Trust for America's Health, Kennedy
Forum and scores of others working towards an
aligned well-being agenda. We are investing in the
evidence and advocacy-base for mental health
parity and for improving standards for mental
health/SUD treatment.
SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT: We are helping shape
the national discourse and normalizing having
conversations of significance on mental health and
addiction. This includes engaging with tweens and
teens in social media and in cultural settings. It means
youth getting the help they seek, in building skills to
be a reliable friend in times of need, and in applying
their lived experience to activism in the school and
community settings where there is the greatest
opportunity for impact. Working with iHeart Media,
OZY, Subject Matter, Solutions Journalism and the
Oregon Association of Student Councils — we've
reached tens of millions through social dialogue,
media partnerships, and on the ground actions.
