Quality of Life Survey Underway

Indi­vid­u­als who live and/​or work in Teton Coun­ty, Wyoming are invit­ed to share their voic­es by com­plet­ing the Com­mu­ni­ty Behav­ioral Health Needs Sur­vey, now open online HERE through Feb­ru­ary 2, 2026.

“The sur­vey results will help us under­stand how behav­ioral health needs are chang­ing in our com­mu­ni­ty,” said Kate Schelbe, Back­bone Leader of the Teton Behav­ioral Health Alliance, an ini­tia­tive of the Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion of Jack­son Hole. ​“By gath­er­ing input from a wide range of com­mu­ni­ty mem­bers, we can iden­ti­fy what’s work­ing well and where addi­tion­al sup­port is needed.”

The con­fi­den­tial sur­vey takes less than 15 min­utes to com­plete and is avail­able in Eng­lish and Span­ish. Ques­tions focus on com­mu­ni­ty con­nec­tions, qual­i­ty of life, and men­tal health and sub­stance use needs.

To ensure a rep­re­sen­ta­tive snap­shot of the com­mu­ni­ty, approx­i­mate­ly 400 res­i­dents will also be ran­dom­ly select­ed to com­plete the sur­vey by phone. Both the online and phone sur­veys are avail­able in Eng­lish and Spanish.

“It’s vital that we hear from every­one, so the data tru­ly reflects the expe­ri­ences and needs of all who live and work here,” added Schelbe.

This year marks the third time the sur­vey has been con­duct­ed, fol­low­ing pre­vi­ous efforts in 2020 and 2024. Repeat­ing the sur­vey helps local orga­ni­za­tions track trends, guide resources, and strength­en services. 

Once the data is ana­lyzed, it will be incor­po­rat­ed into the Behav­ioral Health Dash­board and shared pub­licly and with local orga­ni­za­tions to inform pro­grams, part­ner­ships, and com­mu­ni­ty ini­tia­tives that sup­port the well-being of all who live and work in Teton County. 

The sur­vey is admin­is­tered by Pro­fes­sion­al Research Con­sul­tants (PRC) with gen­er­ous fund­ing from the Katz Ams­ter­dam Foundation.
