Dr. Kristin Haglund was part of a team that won a $250,000 community engagement grant from Medical College of Wisconsin's Advancing Healthier Wisconsin endowment.

By incorporating positive youth development and healing centered engagement principles, the project seeks to enhance social connectedness, improve mental health outcomes, and build community resilience.
