Eau Claire, Wisconsin – The Chippewa Valley showed its commitment to mental wellbeing this week as JONAH (Joining Our Neighbors Advancing Hope) hosted a powerful Day of Action and Care. The event, aimed at raising awareness and providing support, drew state and local leaders, community members, and advocates passionate about addressing mental health challenges.
JONAH, a vital community organization, orchestrated a series of impactful activities throughout the day. The event kicked off with a press conference featuring prominent figures who emphasized the importance of accessible mental health resources and destigmatizing conversations around mental illness. Speakers highlighted the growing need for support services in the region and pledged their commitment to collaborative solutions.

Signs and chants filled the air as individuals shared their personal stories and called for increased funding, improved access to care, and a more compassionate community response to mental health needs. The energy was palpable, demonstrating the collective desire for a healthier and more supportive Chippewa Valley.
Beyond the advocacy and awareness-building, JONAH also offered practical self-care activities.
