Together we can:

- Normalize conversations about mental health
- Reduce mental health stigma
- Promote a culture of mental wellness
- Improve mental wellbeing
The Mental Health Coalition of Greater La Crosse is a 501c3 founded in 2005 by a group of parents who came together to support each other as they looked for ways to support their loved ones they saw struggling with their mental health. Today we are a collective of organizations, advocates, and caring humans committed to improving the mental health of our community. Our approach brings together key community stakeholders, each with a role to play to change systems in the success of the coalition.
