Teton Behavioral Health Alliance at Work
The Teton Behavioral Health Alliance applies the collective impact model to improve the behavioral health care system in Teton County, Wyoming. Collective impact is a framework that is used to solve complex problems. It requires a high-level of collaboration among cross-sectoral stakeholders who are committed to a shared agenda and the desired outcome of achieving population and systems-level changes. As such, the Teton Behavioral Health Alliance facilitates community-wide actions that enhance prevention, treatment, and crisis response efforts while addressing the gaps and inequities in the system to benefit all who live and work in Teton County.
2024 Behavioral Health Report
The State of Behavioral Health in Teton County, Wyoming (2024)
The Teton Behavioral Health Alliance (Alliance), an initiative of the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole, partnered with the Katz Amsterdam Foundation on this project, to conduct a community-wide survey to better understand behavioral health needs and gaps in care. The first survey was conducted in the summer of 2021. A second iteration of the survey was completed in February 2024. Both surveys included two separate surveys administered to the Greater Teton Area’s community members and behavioral health providers.
In 2024, the community survey received 1,142 total responses and the provider survey received 131. The purpose of the surveys was to gain understanding and feedback on the community’s perceptions of the mental health challenges of living in a rural mountain community, the sense of belonging and personal connectedness, and access to care when needed. With multiple data sets now available, the Alliance contracted with Third Horizon Strategies (THS) to analyze the survey data and produce this report.
This report aims to identify trends or changes between the two surveys, provide a communication vehicle to the general community and key constituents, and help inform strategic planning efforts in response to identified needs. It provides a summary of the behavioral health landscape in the United States, key findings from the community and provider surveys, and examination of health disparities, particularly among Latine/Spanish-speaking populations, and recommendations for community leaders to consider as it develops its strategic response to the findings.
