Mental Health Minute: Connecting residents with resources
Mental Health Minute
In 2022, the Yampa Valley Well-being Consortium set out to move an idea forward in line with its purpose to work collectively to improve health and well-being systems and decrease health disparities in the Yampa Valley.
The consortium’s steering committee, which includes representatives from The Health Partnership, Northwest Colorado Health, UC Health, Routt County Public Health, Memorial Regional Health, REPS, Integrated Community, Mind Springs Health, and the Steamboat Springs Chamber, recognized the need for a centralized hub to connect local residents with essential resources.
This hub would need to serve everyone including community members, health care providers, local organizations and more. The vision became clear: a comprehensive, easy-to-navigate website offering a wide range of health and wellness resources for the entire region.
The Health Partnership is excited to announce the launch of YampaValleyResources.org — your one-stop hub for local health and wellness resources throughout Routt, Moffat and Rio Blanco counties. Whether you’re looking for help with housing, searching for employment support, or seeking mental health care, this website provides an organized, central location for finding the resources you need.
Plus, if you offer a local service, you can submit your own listing to be included on the site. In addition to the English version, we are also excited to announce that a Spanish version of the website is coming soon, ensuring that even more people in our community have easy access to essential resources. Visit YampaValleyResources.org today to explore all the resources available for you and your household. Together, we are working to create a stronger, more resilient Yampa Valley where everyone has access to the resources they need to thrive.
