Our Mission

The mission of The Connection is to lead a coalition of diverse stakeholders to champion mental health for everyone in the Fox Valley by addressing barriers, challenging systems, creating solutions, and prioritizing care and support.

Our Vision

A community that is resilient, connected, and mentally well

Our Guiding Principles

  • Collaboration: Collaborate with others on shared root cause and shared risk issues
  • Equity: Elevate, understand and address disparities in mental health outcomes
  • Diversity Enlist and engage diverse champions to voice the mental health needs and concerns of our community
  • Innovation: Embrace innovation, challenge existing norms and structures, and champion out-of-the-box solutions
  • Data-Driven: Make mental health, suicide, and substance use data accessible, digestible, and usable to drive strategy and decision-making for our community
  • Lived Experience: Welcome and intentionally center the voice of lived experience in all activities
  • Systems Orientation: 94% of the problem is caused by the system, and 6% by the individual (Demings 94/6 Rule)
