Vermont Collaborative for Practice Improvement & Innovation (VCPI) at VTSU

We're together for mental health! VCPI is grateful to sponsor today's annual conference with NAMI Vermont and to support all their essential work: https://lnkd.in/e6y9nHBS

VCPI’s team presented a poster about our mental health equity survey & training project at UVM’s recent Health Equity Summit. The conference was a wonderful opportunity to learn & connect with colleagues and community advocates around critical public health ideas and solutions.

Just a quick reminder from VCPI on #WorldMentalHealthDay: you matter and your mental health matters. Find support & resources from NAMI: https://lnkd.in/g2ZM2RrS
