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.
