Letter to the Editor

Dear Residents,

Recent surveys in Valley County show that people in our area understand that families experience mental health issues with a family member. The surveys also showed that a great majority feel that behavioral health problems should be considered in the same way we think about physical health problems- both can be costly, they need to be addressed, they do not diminish the worth of a person, they can be treated, and that there is help available in our county.

Find out how you can help, or get help, and how you can be involved in improving mental health wellness in Valley County. Stop at the Valley Care Coalition Mental Health Committee booth at the upcoming Northeast Montana Fair. While at the booth make sure you ask about the Recovery Coach grant that Valley County has been so fortunate to receive. #curestigma

Sincerely,

Bruce Peterson

Valley County Commission
