National Museum of Mental Health Project
Strengthening mental health literacy, through culture and the arts, by bringing the museum to you.
About
Our Goal: To bring about the creation of a national museum that is focused upon mental health and wellness – multi-campus and online.
Our Mission: Strengthening mental health literacy, through culture and the arts, nationwide, by bringing the museum to you.
