HISTORY
The MWCAC was formed in 2004 as part of a Mental Health
Strategic Plan by Anoka County that listed one of its three
priorities as public education and prevention. Over the
course of the next three years, the board members for the
MWCAC began to define themselves through public relations
work to promote recovery from mental illness. Board
members include consumers, family members, business
leaders and human service professionals. In 2007, we
became a non-profit, 501(C) (3) organization. Our activities
are supported through a grant from Anoka County and
donations by community members.
