Behavioral Health Priority Group

First quarter meeting of the Behavioral Health Priority Group of the Walker County Health Action Partnership. The Behavioral Health Priority Group’s goal is to improve community health of Walker County residents by creating a comprehensive network of prevention, intervention, treatment and recovery resources related to addiction and mental health. As part of a year-long planning process, we developed five objectives to achieve that goal:

1. Community education on risks, harms, and resources
2. Prevention and intervention by health professionals
3. Equitable and timely treatment and recovery options
4. Community-led life-long recovery support
5. Healthy lives for those affected by addiction and mental health
