R-E-S-P-E-C-T MENTAL HEALTH 

If you took a bad fall and broke your leg, would you wait and hope that it healed on its own?  Would your family and friends suggest that "you need to tough it out; you'll feel fine in a few weeks?"  We would hope the answer to those questions would be resoundingly "No." Yet many of us pay little attention to our mental health even though mental distress can be similar to taking a bad fall.  We can't always heal ourselves, physcially or mentally, and ignoring the pain may result in more serious problems.  The Board of Directors and staff of the Teton Valley Hospital Foundation urge everyone to show respect for mental health.  Spread the word that professional counseling can be every bit as necessary as a re-set casted bone.  Counseling is appropriate for people of all ages and from every walk of life.  Our valley has subsidized resources available through the Teton Valley Mental Health Coalition, Family Safety Network, an local medical clinics.  Click here for the full article.
