We are thrilled to share that our Executive Director, Lauren Anderson, has been named a 2022 Washingtonian of the Year by Washingtonian Magazine! In the interview, Lauren reflects on OMM's work these past 10 years: "We're faced with a mounting youth mental health crisis...If we can make a difference for just one life, our work would be done, but I think we've made a difference for many, many lives." https://lnkd.in/eTuDTFuf #mentalhealth #washingtonianoftheyear
