MENTAL HEALTH INITIATIVE: UNITED WAY OF NORTHWEST VERMONT'S MENTAL HEALTH INITIATIVE IS ELEVATING THE VOICES OF DIRECT PROVIDERS OF MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, VERMONTERS WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE, AND ORGANIZATIONS AND ALLIANCES FOCUSED ON MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE MISUSE. TOGETHER WE WILL WORK TO ALIGN EXISTING MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES, IDENTIFY GAPS IN THE SYSTEM OF CARE, AND CREATE A SHARED AGENDA AND ACTION ITEMS FOR OUR NEXT STEPS. THROUGH EXTENSIVE CONVERSATIONS WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS, WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THREE INITIAL PRIORITIES FOR THE MENTAL HEALTH INITIATIVE TO FOCUS ON: ADDRESSING VERMONT'S CRITICAL LABOR SHORTAGE OF MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS; STRENGTHENING AND ALIGNING RESOURCES FOR SUICIDE PREVENTION; AND RESPONDING TO THE ACUTE RISE IN YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS. OUR ROLE IS TO WORK ALONGSIDE OUR SERVICE PARTNERS ON THE GROUND, THOSE WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE NAVIGATING MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, AND POLICYMAKERS TO BREAK DOWN BARRIERS TO THE SYSTEMS CHANGE WE NEED TO PROMOTE BETTER MENTAL HEALTH AND ENSURE COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO WANT IT HAVE TIMELY ACCESS TO EFFECTIVE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. COMMUNITY PARTNERS WHO WILL HELP GUIDE THE MENTAL HEALTH INITIATIVE'S WORK INCLUDE HOWARD CENTER, NORTHWESTERN COUNSELING & SUPPORT SERVICES (NCSS), VERMONT CARE PARTNERS, SPECTRUM YOUTH & FAMILY SERVICES, VERMONT SUICIDE PREVENTION CENTER, AND NAMI VERMONT. THE MENTAL HEALTH INITIATIVE IS MADE POSSIBLE THANKS TO FUNDING FROM THE UVM HEALTH NETWORK, IBM AND GENEROUS INDIVIDUAL DONORS.
