Progress has been made in raising awareness about mental health, but far too many individuals and families still struggle to access the support they need.
Join MPR News host Angela Davis tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. CT (Wednesday, July 2) for an important conversation on the barriers to mental health care and the solutions that can make a difference. The broadcast features a powerful panel discussion recorded live at CHC: Creating Healthier Communities’ event on May 28 at Ameriprise Financial Headquarters in Minneapolis. The three Minnesota-based leaders include:
- Kimberly Spates, CEO, NorthPoint Health & Wellness Center
- Sue Abderholden, Executive Director, NAMI Minnesota
- Jessica Gourneau, Ph.D., LP, Clinical Director, American Indian Family Center
Together, they discuss challenges in the mental health care system, community-level solutions, and how resources can better support families across Minnesota. This discussion reflects CHC’s commitment to advancing mental well-being through community collaboration. With several staff and trustees based in Minnesota, we’re proud to maintain strong local ties and a shared vision for healthier, more resilient communities.
Grateful to our panelists for their insights and to Angela Davis for moderating and sharing this with a wider audience. Read more and listen tomorrow morning at MPR News.
