August Meet-Up for Mental Health Professionals

Yellowstone County Mental Health Alliance August Meet-Up
Wednesday, August 12 | 12:00–1:00 PM
Lunch Provided | Free to Attend | 1 CE Available
Have you ever had an idea for a program, service, or community initiative that could make a real difference but weren't sure how to fund it?
Whether you're in private practice, part of a nonprofit, or simply dreaming about a project that could strengthen mental health in our community, there are funding opportunities available. But before you ever apply for a grant, seek sponsorships, or ask for donations, you need to be prepared.
Join us as Zack Terakedis from the Billings Community Foundation shares what organizations and business owners need to have in place before pursuing funding. You'll learn what funders look for, how to position your ideas for success, and practical steps you can take now even if applying for a grant isn't on your immediate horizon.
Explore how to build a strong foundation so that when the right opportunity comes along, you'll be ready.
Whether you're hoping to:
-Launch a new mental health initiative
-Expand services in your practice or organization
-Partner on a community project
-Seek sponsorships or philanthropic support
-Or simply learn what's possible
...this conversation will help you think strategically about the future of your work.
As always, our meet-ups are also a chance to connect with other professionals who are passionate about improving mental health in Yellowstone County.
Lunch is generously sponsored by the Billings Community Foundation.
🎟 This event is free and open to mental health professionals and those working to improve behavioral health in our community.
📚 1 Continuing Education (CE) credit is available for counselors and MT social workers.
We hope you'll join us for another month of connection, collaboration, and learning!
