Board of Directors
Empire Mental Health Support is comprised of a group of committed individuals who either live with a mental health diagnosis, or are family members of someone living with a mental health issue. We are a support, education, and advocacy organization that serves the Sioux Empire area.
Our top priorities are to raise mental health awareness in our community, work alongside the justice system, and build connections with lawmakers and community leaders who want to work toward empathy and equal rights for individuals living with a mental health diagnosis, and the families and caregivers who love them.

“You don’t have to struggle in silence. You can be un-silent. You can live well with a mental health condition, as long as you open up to somebody about it, because it’s really important you share your experience with people so that you can get the help that you need.”
Demi Lovato
