Listening to
our communities
All communities have unique strengths. HMHC taps into existing systems and seeks to uplift authentic emotional wellness programs for and from the community. This is done through community listening and community leadership.
HMHC originated to address community mental health needs identified during the COVID-19 pandemic. Communities that have long faced barriers to behavioral health services were selected.
