Multiple organizations partner together to reduce the stigma of mental health and substance use disorder in Becker County. Over the years the partnerships have grown to not only provide professional education, but to provide community education and to lift the voice of personal stories of those who have experienced the hardship first hand. Stomp the Stigma and the "Inside Out": A Step Inside Mental Illness" video series are two such examples. Our goal is to continue to grow and offer impactful trainings and opportunities so that people feel empowered to seek help, and supported in recovery.
This committee is dedicated to serving all of Becker County and the people within it.
Did you know that nearly 60% of adults and 50% of youth ages 8-15 with a mental illness did not recieve mental health services the previous year? Our goal is to increase the number of people recieving education, to reduce the stigma, and to improve access to mental health services as part of the work of the overall HOPE Project.
