Organizational Update
As of January 2026, CMU Health is the new organizational home for the Great Lakes Bay Region Mental Health Partnership. This transition marks an important next chapter in the Partnership’s mission to reduce stigma, strengthen mental health awareness, and expand access and collaboration across the region.
Prior to this, the Great Lakes Bay Regional Alliance had proudly housed the GLBRMHP, providing a strong foundation during its formative years. Under that structure, the Partnership established core programming, built meaningful regional collaborations, and demonstrated long‑term sustainability and measurable impact.
The alignment with CMU Health creates new opportunities to expand GLBRMHP programming, deepen integration with clinical education and patient care, and enhance support for mental health providers, patients, and communities across the region. Dallas Rau will continue her leadership with CMU Health as the Director of the GLBMHP at CMU Health. If you have questions or would like to learn more, please reach out to Dallas Rau at rau1d@cmich.edu.
