MENTAL HEALTH & WELL-BEING
KEEPING OUR COMMUNITY HEALTHY
Join us in our mission to prioritize mental health and well-being in our community. Together, we can create a healthier, more resilient community for all.
THE FOUNDATION OF OUR PROGRAMS
At Greater Gallatin United Way, we believe that mental health and well-being are the foundation of all our programs and initiatives. We understand that a healthy mind is essential for individuals and communities to thrive. That’s why we prioritize mental health across all our efforts, ensuring that support and resources are available to everyone who needs them.
TEEN MENTAL HEALTH
In Gallatin and Park counties, suicide is a leading cause of death among teens, reflecting the urgent need for mental health interventions and support.
HIGHEST SUICIDE RATES
Montana consistently has the highest suicide rates in the United States. The suicide rate is nearly double the national average.
ACCESS TO SUPPORT
Approximately 70% of Montana’s counties are designated as Mental Health Professional Shortage Areas, indicating a significant lack of access to mental health care providers.

This coalition works to identify gaps in services, advocate for policy changes, and develop comprehensive strategies to improve mental health care in our region.

MENTAL HEALTH LOCAL ADVISORY COUNCIL
The Local Advisory Council was called for by the 1999 Montana State Legislature to increase local public participation and awareness of mental health issues and care. The local advisory council is a coalition of community members interested in assessing, planning and strengthening public mental health services in our community.
