MISSION & VISION

To promote wellness within Nelson County by eliminating barriers to access and increasing the availability of behavioral health resources through meaningful partnerships and programs.

A Nelson community that is informed, engaged, stigma resistant and supportive, with a wealth of resources available to individuals with behavioral health conditions.

PRIORITIES

The Alliance pursues our mission through programs centered around four core priority areas:

• Improving awareness and engagement

• Reducing stigma and encouraging support

• Removing barriers to accessing care

• Increasing available community resources

VALUES

UNITY: Our community is stronger when we work together in partnership towards our shared goals.

DIGNITY: No one should be made to feel ashamed for needing any form of healthcare, including behavioral healthcare.

INCLUSION: By serving our neighbors without discrimination, we promote wellness, mutual understanding, and an improved sense of community.

STEWARDSHIP: Individual and community sufficiency are improved by increasing locally based resources for individuals and families.
