Our main State of Well-Being Project objective is to assess and enhance mental health support services at the state level and for high-risk groups. We are primarily focused on state and county staff for this phase of the project, including first responders, healthcare providers and public school staff.

In spring 2025, to jump-start the project, we’ve been meeting with all county mayors and their staff statewide. This year, we are focused on completing a landscape assessment of current mental health supports.
