Two members of Vibrant Emotional Health’s (Vibrant) Public Policy and Government Affairs team recently attended NatCon24 in St. Louis, MO, representing the department amidst a bustling conference atmosphere. At the Vibrant booth, attendees enjoyed goodies and a meditation session, offering a peaceful break from the event’s busyness.

The team seized the opportunity to connect with numerous 988 Lifeline Suicide & Crisis Lifeline attendees and mental health experts, engaging in insightful discussions about innovative approaches to mental health advocacy and policy. These interactions reaffirmed their commitment to advocating for mental health awareness and accessibility.

As they reflect on their experience, the team is grateful for the chance to participate in such a dynamic event and looks forward to continuing their advocacy efforts to create a more inclusive and supportive society.
