The Lung Mind Alliance is made of organizations and individuals who partner to eliminate the disparity impact of commercial tobacco and nicotine on those with mental health and/or substance use challenges.
Partner Commitments
All Partners Commit To:
- Promote the integration of commercial tobacco recovery and treatment support into mental health/SUD programs across the state of Minnesota.
