The St. Luke’s Wood River Foundation and the Blaine County Well-Being Initiative have launched a new anonymous survey to gather input on behavioral health needs. The survey covers topics such as quality of life, community connections, mental health challenges and alcohol use.
Last year the Well-Being Initiative gathered input from 1,200 Blaine County residents to better direct its strategic vision. The data was used to align the goals of the initiative with community needs.
“This year, we hope to hear from even more residents so we can deepen our understanding, refine our actions, and ensure our community-wide efforts truly reflect what people in Blaine County need most,” said MWBI Executive Director Jenna Vagias.
The Mental Well-Being Initiative was started in 2023 with funding from the St. Luke’s Wood River Foundation to respond to a “clear and growing need for improved mental health resources,” states a press release.
The survey, which takes an estimated 5 minutes, is open to all people ages 18 and older who live and/or work in Blaine County. It is available in both Spanish and English. According to the press release, a random selection of households will also be contacted to participate in a phone survey. The survey is available online at prcsurvey.com/begin/BlaineCounty2026 and will be open through Feb. 7.
