JACKSON, WY – Teton Behavioral Health Alliance, an initiative of the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole, invites Teton County residents to take part in the Community Behavioral Health Needs Survey. The survey will be used as a tool to better understand local needs and concerns.
The confidential survey asks questions about community connections, quality of life and health needs related to mental health and alcohol use.
According to Teton Behavioral Health Alliance, this survey was first conducted in 2020, and the same core questions will be asked again this year to understand the community’s changing behavioral health needs. The demographic questions have been revised to include more inclusive language.
“The results of the survey will help local organizations understand where the greatest needs exist and identify ways to strengthen the services and community connections that improve the quality of life for those who live and/or work in Teton County,” Backbone Leader of the Teton Behavioral Health Alliance Kate Schelbe said via press release. “The survey will be conducted every two years so that we can see changes over time.”
The survey is available in English and Spanish and takes less than 10 minutes to complete. The goal of the survey is to collect 1,500 responses.
“In order to capture an accurate snapshot of the community, we want to hear from all voices, ” said Schelbe via press release. “Input from everyone is vital to creating a holistic view of what is happening in the behavioral health space in our community.”
The online survey is available here until Friday, Feb. 16.
