First let's

Learn 

Northland Healthy Minds seeks to educate about the stigma around mental illness and the damage it can do.  By breaking down that stigma, people with mental illnesses will feel safe to talk about them and will find it easier to ask for help in finding treatment and resources. 

Now let's 

Talk

Northland Healthy Minds is starting the conversation by introducing the Make It OK campaign to Northland employers and organizations.  It is important that we talk about mental illness in ways that are supportive and open.  

IT'S UP TO US

To Make it OK

Through Make It OK we will provide people with the resources to talk about mental illness so that we can all support those who are struggling to find the resources and treatment they deserve.  

Northland Healthy Minds is committed to breaking down mental health stigma and accessibility barriers to treatment and support for people of all genders and sexualities. The coalition recognizes that GLBTQ+ individuals face unique challenges in finding and accessing appropriate mental health care, and is partnering with Twin Ports LGBTQ+ organizations to help address these issues locally.

Additionally, Northland Healthy Minds understands that there are a number of communities that may have their own unique needs and barriers.  We are dedicated to helping facilitate conversations in all communities and supporting existing efforts. Please contact us if you would like more information.
