Task Force Information
The Problem JONAH Sees: Mental Health Challenges are part of the human experience. 1 in 5 US Adults experience mental illness each year. 1 in 6 youth experience a mental health disorder each year. Those numbers are on the rise. Mental Health Challenges and Illness remain stigmatized and people are not getting the support they need. Because each person’s experiences are unique vast approaches are necessary.
Our Mission: The JONAH Mental Health Task Force meets to foster authentic connection and identify gaps, works to reduce stigma, increase community understanding, support and access, and assist in making the CV a place that supports individuals through their challenges.
The JONAH Mental Health Task Force meets twice a month on 1st Thursdays at 1pm and 3rd Thursdays at 4pm via zoom or in person at the JONAH office to practice relationship building, sharing thoughts about the mental health system and what it is like struggling on the mental illness spectrum, collaborate to address gaps where there is not capacity, advocate to policy makers, and working toward creating more peer support for people for daily recovery. If you are passionate about deeply looking at and addressing mental health access for people, please contact cvjonahorganizer@gmail.com to join. If you are looking just for group support as part of a healthy community, please also reach out as we are building that in as well.
