CAMPAIGN SPOTLIGHT

Campaign Spotlight

Be Entered to Win a 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible

The mental health outlook for youth 9-18 in the Magic Valley has never been so alarming. Our community has already outpaced suicide rates from last year-affecting families, friends, and first responders. Creating consistent access to individual crisis counseling has been a real issue, and United Way wants to help solve accessibility in this crucial behavioral health need.
