About WeHealUS
#WeHealUS started as a grassroots campaign that honors May as Mental Health Awareness Month by amplifying the hard work of individuals, organizations, and local/state governments building resilience and healing. Nationwide, more states and municipalities are embracing trauma-informed and healing-centered policies and practices because resilience grows through healthy and informed relationships.
WeHealUS is committed to supporting local, state, and national organizations to achieve success as they respond to the mental health and trauma prevention/intervention needs in our communities. We recognize the overwhelming increase in need across the United States to respond to and prevent mental health crises both at individual and collective levels. WeHealUS is proud to partner with leading experts in the fields of trauma and mental health, systems change, and strategy execution who perform all duties from a lens of equity and healing. We are thrilled to have the ability to offer custom training and support to help further your organization's efforts in becoming Trauma Informed and Healing Centered services.
Founded in Chicago, #WeHealUS emerged from the state trauma and mental health reform movement that had been building in Illinois for decades. After a series of successful healing-centered reform actions, support from partners across the United States led to the coordination of the first #WeHealUS May Mental Health and Trauma Awareness Campaign.
The success of its first campaign launched #WeHealUS into the national spotlight, becoming an organization that now provides support at the individual and collective levels that promote healing-centered reform throughout the United States.
