Region V+ Adult Mental Health Initiative

COVID-19 Update

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, all LAC meetings for the month of April have been canceled.

Also, all Imagine Network events will be canceled until May.  Instead, Wellness in the Woods has created inviting and engaging Zoom meetings that promote mental wellness and community for people living with mental health challenges.  Each meeting is hosted by a peer specialist with similar life experiences.

The Virtual Peer Support Network is available every day from 10 am to 4 pm. There are scheduled spots for residents in each county from 10 am to 2 pm, and then it is open to all counties in MN from 2 pm to 4 pm.  Click here for more information and a schedule.

Please visit our “Coping with COVID-19” page for information and resources to assist in coping with stress and anxiety due to the economic and emotional strain many are feeling at this time.

Please visit our Support page for telephone and texting support lines if you or someone you know is struggling to cope and needs to speak with someone.
