Healing, Belonging & Hope

Hello and welcome to our Collab family!

In 2025... more parents/caregivers are under stress, more youth need mental health supports, less staff and services are available, and the equity gap has widened. Driven by fears about funding cuts and economic uncertainty, it is human nature to isolate and adopt a self-preservation mindset. In times like these, organizations often shift toward preserving assets and they hesitate to share resources, people or knowledge. This tends to lead to reduced flexibility, creativity, and innovation.

But it is exactly during times like these when we need each other most! I've had the honor of working for RCCMHC since 2013. I love being part of a collaborative that rapidly responds to emerging needs by connecting, engaging, and innovating. I am grateful for our community's generosity, compassion and trust. And I believe that when we work together, there will always be enough. I am excited to focus on hope and new collaborative opportunities. Please join us in our commitment to Self Healing Communities and Strengthening Families.

If you are new to RCCMHC, try out one of our 3 community-based committees (Advisory, Cultural Outreach, and Family Services) or task groups. Everyone is always welcome! These work groups offer free monthly trainings and opportunities to exchange information, identify needs, address community challenges, and leverage resources. Our Governing Board meetings are also open to the public.

A Collaborative is only as strong as its stakeholders! Please contact me with your ideas and questions. Or, reach out to Dan Porter, our Board Chair
