Tampa Bay Thrives (TBT) is a unique coalition founded in 2019 by leaders who sought an innovative approach to improving mental health for the Tampa Bay community. Their mission is to mobilize the community to strengthen behavioral health outcomes for depression, anxiety, and substance use disorder, with a focus on improving early intervention, access, and awareness. TBT has three priority focus areas to support this mission:
Underpinning the above are activities that provide visibility into, and critical mass around solving for, the core mental health challenges facing our region. These additional activities include convening around urgent and emergent issues, research, education, data collection, evaluation, and policy.
Tampa Bay Thrives envisions an emotionally healthy community where mental health is a priority and all thrive together. The organization is positioned to take the next step in building its team by hiring its first Development Director as they work towards this vision.
