Hosted by RSM’s Nonprofit and Education Industry Leader, Next Stage, and the Foundation For The Carolinas, the Mental Health Idea Exchange held in Charlotte, NC, in October 2024 convened a broad and diverse group of nonprofit, government, foundation, behavioral health provider and education leaders and frontline staff to share innovative models being carried out in the Charlotte region and beyond. Rich discussions following the panel presentations from multiple regions of the nation revealed common themes focusing on the ongoing need for more behavioral health services to address the opioid crisis, continued fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, stigma associated with mental health challenges, and the need for training and support of mental health providers and educators who in turn support the most vulnerable. The Mental Health Idea Exchange inspired the recognition that Charlotte has evolved in its behavioral health systems approach while recognizing that there is still work to be done.
