Coalition History
2017
Northland Healthy Minds was inspired by a City of Duluth Make It OK campaign for City employees in the spring of 2017. Quickly, other businesses, governmental agencies were interested in the topics of mental health and mental illness, and a broader Coalition began meeting monthly in 2018.
2018
Northland Healthy Minds organized community events for Mental Health Awareness Month in May 2018, including an event with comedian John Moe from The Hilarious World of Depression. Northland Healthy Minds has continued to meet and plan community events, trainings, and workplace initiatives.
2019 - current
Northland Healthy Minds delivered year-round programming in 2018-2019, and is continuing year-round operation in 2019-2020.
