OMNA on Tour Background
The OMNA on Tour initiative, launched in 2005, is a series of town-hall-style meetings to inform underserved communities about mental health disparities and their impact on overall health, economic productivity, and societal well-being. The meetings produce collaboration among stakeholder groups in developing local action plans to eliminate mental health disparities. The tour began in Washington, D.C. and continued with stops in Memphis TN, Philadelphia PA, and Arlington Heights IL.
