State of Mind has toured over thirty rural Montana communities using interactive theatre and public dialogue to spark meaningful conversations about mental health.

This initiative goes beyond performance; it is a statewide effort to engage communities in redefining care, seeking help, and sharing responsibility for collective well-being. A team of Montana-based artists, facilitators, and mental health professionals partner with local residents to drive meaningful change.

A core part of this partnership is the presence of Meadowlark therapists. Meadowlark clinicians travel with the team to every community, ensuring consistent mental health support throughout the tour. Their attendance strengthens collaboration with local providers, helps connect community members to appropriate resources, and ensures that when difficult or emotional topics arise, qualified support is immediately available.

Shifting the conversation requires culture shift. And culture shift starts with culture work. State of Mind invites Montanans to reimagine what care looks like together.

Stevensville School is deeply committed to ensuring that all students have access to high-quality mental health support. Superintendent Jon Konan has been a strong advocate for expanding services, especially during a time when funding cuts have reduced statewide programming. Through creative problem-solving and community partnerships, the school has brought together multiple providers to create a comprehensive and accessible network of care.

A key part of this effort is the school’s partnership with Meadowlark Counseling, which has been provided with an on-campus office so students—regardless of financial barriers—can access outpatient psychotherapy and neurofeedback services during the school day. Alongside Meadowlark Counseling, AWARE and the school’s own counseling staff collaborate to ensure students receive the right level of support at the right time.

Meadowlark Counseling is proud to partner with Southern Utah University (SUU) on an innovative research project designed to advance the field of behavioral health and strengthen the quality of care delivered to clients across Montana. This collaboration reflects Meadowlark’s commitment to evidence-based practice, ongoing professional learning, and the use of current, research-supported technologies in clinical work.

The joint study—Associated Outcomes with VR Soft Skills Training—led by Dr. Brad Simpson and SUU research faculty, examines how virtual reality (VR) can enhance essential soft skills like communication, leadership, collaboration, and problem-solving among behavioral health providers. By integrating immersive VR modules alongside surveys and seminars, the project aims to modernize traditional training methods and evaluate whether this innovative approach leads to measurable improvements.

Meadowlark Counseling engages in research that strengthens the science behind mental health care and allows us to bring emerging insights directly into our clinical practice. Our partnership with SUU also supports continued professional growth by exposing our team to cutting-edge training tools and contemporary learning methods. Through this work, Meadowlark and SUU are helping advance the next generation of behavioral health training—promoting innovation, strengthening provider competence, and supporting a more effective, resilient workforce for the communities we serve.
