The three elements will reinforce the development of professional mental health providers as data shows significant increase in number of providers in Buffalo County, however, 1 in 6 people have access to a provider. The 2nd element is supporting the growth of peer support workforce, the collaborative is defining peer support and engaging those with experience in this work to learn ideas for expansion. The final element is created a wellness ambassador program, which is a best practice of Give an Hour.

The foundation for this work was completed in 2023 with the development of the Well-Being Collaborative, Steering Commitee and changes in staff job descriptions. The staff convene and facilitate monthly meetings to bring awareness of community gaps, resources and emerging needs. The coalitions are Salud para Todos, Housing and Emergency Services Committee, Food Leaders, Violence Prevention and Substance Abuse prevention. As emerging work emerges from these workgroups, it is shared with the Well-Being Collaborative Steering Committee to help prioritize the work or bring in new partners to lead the work. A community dashboard holds this information. We also have a new community process online, www.bcchp.org/innovative, to support the Steering Committee work, see the matrix to help define our process. Several activities will take place in 2025 in this area for food security, violence prevention, substance abuse, mental health training and resources, and housing. These activities are too numerous to share, apx 33 different prevention strategies are currently funded. For a list of these activities contact us to receive a copy of our Program Managers 2025 Plan.
