The City of Fayetteville is taking a proactive approach to improving the mental health and well-being of its residents through the introduction of an online resource initiative. Led by Councilwoman Dr. Niyah Glover, the Fayetteville Mental Health Hub aims to enhance the quality of life within the community by providing resources for stress management, emotional resilience and other similar issues.
In a recent interview on the CityVision Podcast, Councilwoman Glover discussed the focus of the initiative on offering short-term wins to citizens seeking support. The goal is to create an easily accessible webpage where residents can quickly find and use these resources.
Councilwoman Glover also shared her plans to organize mental health workshops targeting specific areas of need within the community. The overall aim is to foster engagement, bonding and a stigma-free environment that supports residents’ mental health.
The Fayetteville Mental Health Hub caters to individuals of all ages with tailored resources based on different developmental periods. By understanding and addressing unique needs at every stage of life, the initiative aims to provide comprehensive support for any challenges or crises that may arise.
It’s important to note that while the City of Fayetteville is driving this initiative, they do not directly provide mental health services or other health-related services. Additionally, no personal information collected through online resources will be shared with the city.

With this new resource center in place, residents can now take advantage of various tools designed specifically for them and their families’ mental wellbeing, leading to a happier and healthier community overall.
