"When we set out to do the work of the center, the first thing we did was listen. We listened through 48 listening sessions across the state with very different populations, and what was a resounding theme, the number one theme, was addressing mental health and well-being."

EQUITY ACTION LABS

What is an Equity Action Lab?

An Equity Action Lab is a flexible and adaptable model that uses a set of activities to bring together a diverse group of community stakeholders to take action in pursuit of equity and community improvement. The model was built using human-centered design principles, which puts the people most affected by the inequities, or the problems in a system, at the center of designing new solutions.
