Craftsbury Mental Health Resource Group
Mission Statement:
In the fall of 2017, the Craftsbury community was shocked by the suicide of one of its young citizens. In response, a group of concerned community members came together as the Craftsbury Mental Health Resource Group.
THE CRAFTSBURY MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCE GROUP seeks to
provide hope for persons and families struggling with mental health issues
increase access to mental health resources
increase support for those navigating mental health resources
decrease the stigma surrounding mental health issues in our community.
We will do this by:
providing information on mental health issues and resources to the Craftsbury community
recruiting and training local folks to be companions of support for those who seek help through the mental health system, helping to navigate through that system
seeking opportunities for and speaking openly about mental illness and mental well-being
advocating for improvement of mental health resources in our community and our state
encouraging others toward this same mission in other parts of the Northeast Kingdom, and all of Vermont.
