AZTEC San Juan County residents looking for help with mental and behavioral health have a new resource. The county has officially opened the San Juan County Mental Wellness Resource Center, which is intended to help connect people with the services they need.
The center is the direct result of the behavioral health gap analysis the county commissioned in December 2018.
The analysis was released in May 2019 and identified five main areas where there are gaps in services in the county.
In addition to serving as a central hub that can connect people to services, the center will also work to increase collaboration between mental wellness service providers in the county. Peer mentors will help people navigate through the process of finding services and scheduling appointments.
