Public Awareness

Public Awareness Committee

The Coalition’s Public Awareness Committee promotes community awareness about mental health and substance use challenges and to reduce the stigma and encourage people to reach out for help when needed. We host educational events for community members and in-depth trainings for professionals working in the media, communications, and other public-facing roles. Our monthly e‑newsletter includes the latest information about local services and new initiatives from our various member organizations.
