MHAH is the convener of the Mental Health Taskforce. MHAH also has a Finding Help Phone List, a compilation of agencies and programs that offer a comprehensive range of services.
For youth, MHAH’s hallmark curriculum is the Youth Suicide & Bullying Prevention Training (YSBP), a two-hour evidence-informed curriculum for middle and high schoolers.
Free, anonymous self-screenings are also available to determine whether you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition at https://bit.ly/3yGjJdN.
