According to a news release from Springfield-Greene County Health, the project, funded through Community Foundation of the Ozarks’ Advancing Mental Wellness grant program, will utilize partnerships with HLA member organizations—including Burrell Behavioral Health and Community Partnership of the Ozarks. Over three years, HLA member organizations will collaborate on community outreach, resource sharing through MentalHealth417.com and encouraging men to have conversations about mental health through various mediums.
