Community Behavioral Health Needs Survey Underway

Foun­da­tion News

Indi­vid­u­als who live and/​or work in Teton Coun­ty, Wyoming can help the Teton Behav­ioral Health Alliance, an ini­tia­tive of the Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion of Jack­son Hole, improve the qual­i­ty of life in the region by com­plet­ing the Com­mu­ni­ty Behav­ioral Health Needs Survey.

The online sur­vey is avail­able at www​.prc​sur​vey​.com/​b​e​g​i​n​/​T​e​t​o​n​C​o​u​n​t​y​W​Y2024 from now until Feb­ru­ary 16, 2024. The con­fi­den­tial sur­vey asks ques­tions about com­mu­ni­ty con­nec­tions, qual­i­ty of life, and health needs relat­ed to men­tal health and alco­hol use. The sur­vey was first con­duct­ed in 2020. The same core ques­tions will be asked again this year to under­stand our 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, Wyoming.” said Kate Schelbe, Back­bone Leader of the Teton Behav­ioral Health Alliance. ​“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. Our goal 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. ​“Input from every­one is vital to cre­at­ing a holis­tic view of what is hap­pen­ing in the behav­ioral health space in our community.” 

The sur­vey is being admin­is­tered by PRC, Pro­fes­sion­al Research Con­sul­tants, with gen­er­ous fund­ing from our part­ners at the Katz Ams­ter­dam Foundation.
