A major goal of the La Crosse Area Mental Health Coalition is to eliminate stigma and to share the stories of those who live the mental health experience. the name and stories are incredible and heroic accounts of survival. They serve to remind us that mental illness can be successfully confronted and that our communities play a large role in offering a supportive environment for all to grow.

The Shooting Star Award is conferred annually and is the Mental Health Coalition's highest and most prestigious honor. Those recognized as recipients are our friends and neighbors and individuals who possess remarkable courage.
