Wellness is more than just mental health — it’s the fabric of families, neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, and local institutions all working together. We can create sustainable solutions that reduce reliance on overburdened mental health providers by supporting community-based programs, evidence-backed prevention initiatives, and partnerships that meet people where they are.

• Build local capacity by strengthening community-based wellness initiatives that provide prevention, peer support, and early intervention.
  
  

• Integrate mental health and wellness support across schools, workplaces, community organizations, and local institutions to create a network of care accessible to youth and families.
  
  

• Treat addiction and behavioral health challenges as public health issues by combining recovery programs, workforce reintegration, and coordinated enforcement against fentanyl traffickers.
