Greetings, Mental Health Network,
As many of you wrap up the school year, I want to thank you for being a part of this group- reading the news, joining our webinars, participating in the initiatives, and helping to grow this network. We have big plans for the future and I will continue to need your input and suggestions. A special Thank You to everyone who shared their Mental Health Awareness activities around the state- it is so nice to see you all in action.
