Counties are on the front lines of supporting mental health and wellbeing—not only through clinical services, but by shaping the programs, partnerships and community conditions that help residents thrive.
Join NACo and the Healthy Counties Innovation Council for a webinar exploring how counties are supporting mental health across the lifespan. This session will highlight practical, county-led approaches from Waukesha County, Wis., Clarendon County, S.C., and Boone County, Mo.
Participants will gain insights into how counties can support mental health through both targeted services and broader community-based strategies.
