LIVEAll of Us: A Campaign to Rethink Mental Health
Conducting a much-needed conference to educate LA about mental health, advocate for expansion of mental health services, and spread awareness to pave the way for enacting legislative change to support individuals dealing with mental health issues. A series of small projects to change the perception of mental health issues, and to expand the scope of our campaign will precede the conference.

Please explain how you will evaluate your work.
We will determine the success of our project through the community’s increase in contact with mental health representatives introduced at the Conference. We will also analyze available usage data from counseling and psychological service centers to determine an increase in utilization of counseling and psychological services. This, coupled with an increase in traffic on our website, should help us evaluate the success of our Conference to a large extent.
