The first collaborative assessment of mental health and substance use in Jackson Hole revealed a community struggling with a myriad of challenges. The report, drafted by FSG consultants, comprises a year of research and includes interviews with community leaders, workshops with a 19-organization steering committee, and a survey of more than 1,000 residents.
The pandemic has exacerbated the difficulties of living in our isolated mountain towns. COVID has, for many, rapidly changed the nature of work requiring constant adaptation and added stress. Trends that made the Teton region a difficult place to call home have accelerated. The survey revealed that nearly half of those surveyed considered leaving the area in the past year due to housing instability, lack of stable employment, or insufficient income.
Please join us on Monday, December 6th from 5-6 p.m. for a discussion on making mental health a priority in the workplace. We will look at creative tools and benefits available to support entrepreneurs and staff, suggestions for self-care, and the various resources available in our area.
Our expert panelists include Matt Murphy, CEO of Marvell Technology, a leader in innovative programs to promote employee wellness and work-life balance, Abigail Ridgway, Managing Director of FSG, and Deidre Ashley, Executive Director of Jackson Hole Community Counseling Center. Don't miss this important and timely conversation.
