As part of our mental health campaign, MIP is fostering communities of belonging in our region – places where people know each other, care about each other, feel safe and welcome. We are starting with gatherings for people to share together, to listen to each other, and to plan for how we can connect more of us into communities of belonging such as third spaces.

A third space is any place outside of home and work where you regularly feel a sense of belonging and connection.   Third spaces are coffee shops, book clubs, pickleball leagues, faith communities, yoga groups, gyms, community gardens, libraries, playgrounds, and so many more. Find out more from this Mental Health Team Progress Report
