We’re a collaborative of faith communities, working together to help destigmatize mental illness to make sure all people can find the free, customized, and confidential help they need.

We have a navigation line and follow-up services for the Twin Cities Metro area and surrounding communities that are free, individualized, and confidential. You won’t have to walk alone. Learn more.

Why choose Mental Health Connect?
Navigating the ins and outs of the mental health system is overwhelming when mental symptoms are present. We support people in their desire to feel better and embrace their strengths by providing resources, support, and education needed in the journey to mental health and wellness.

Executive Director Rev. Hannah Campbell Gustafson uses the words stigma-busting and culture-shifting as she shares why she’s passionate about the work she’s doing today.

Mental Health Ministry & MHC

“Working with Mental Health Connect was inspirational and helpful—their ‘Enhancing a Mental Health Ministry’ program provided us with tools and up-to-date information to help us move forward with a comprehensive Mental Health Ministry. Thank you, Mental Health Connect! Our community is able to feel safe and open to sharing without judgements. We’ll continue to strive for the most current mental health information so we can serve our community as they need it.”

-Julie Goodman, Director of Congregational Care, Mount Olivet Lutheran Church
