JACKSON, Wyo. — The Community Counseling Center and the Curran-Seeley Foundation have merged to create Mental Health & Recovery Services of Jackson Hole (MHRS), a non-profit behavioral health center, the organization announced Friday.
According to the press release, the organizations officially merged in 2022 and will be guided by a new mission: “To deliver compassionate, and affordable mental health and substance use services that support the strength and resilience of our diverse and growing community.”
The Curran-Seeley Foundation focused on alcohol and drug counseling, treatment and prevention services.
“By integrating these services under one umbrella, MHRS can offer best practice care for the whole person within one, streamlined organization,” states the press release.
Executive Director of The Community Counseling Center since 2011, Diedre Ashley, will serve as the Executive Director for MHRS.
“We are so excited to move into expanding our overall commitment to our community and to those experiencing mental health and/or substance use issues,” Ashley said. “We are committed to providing the highest levels of service with compassion, affordability and without judgment.”
“Through a comprehensive range of mental and substance use services, we aim to build a program of care that takes the whole person into account, enabling them to focus more time and energy on growth and the things that matter most to their long-term achievement,” Ashley said.
Ashley noted that the merger will help deliver a streamlined experience that eliminated redundancy for patients and staff.
The offices are located in the same locations as the former organizations, with a goal to be under the same roof in the future. The counseling center is across from the hospital at 640 E. Broadway, and dedicated space for the substance use programs will remain at 610 W. Broadway for the time being.
MHRS’s main number is 307-733-2046.
“We want to thank the community for the incredible support throughout this process,” Ashley said. “This is a major undertaking for our organizations, and we could not have gotten to this point without those who are invested in behavioral health in our community.”
