October 2024 Update from BHAM

All across Montana there are strong signs that Fall is here. Changing colors on the landscape, cold mornings, crisp air and the sounds of football being shouted back and forth over the mountain passes between Missoula and Bozeman. These signs are nature’s way of telling us that we better get outside and soak in as much of the goodness as we can, while we can. Consider this the beautiful calm before the Holiday/winter storm.

State of Mind – Great Falls – Tuesday, October 8th:

State of Mind – State of Mind is a statewide theatre and public dialogue tour aimed at community listening, tackling stigmas around mental and behavioral health, sharing resources and exploring strategies for care across our communities. BHAM was thrilled to be able to host the premier of the State of Mind play at our strategic planning session on October 19 th in Missoula. What an amazing community event that you can see as it tours across Montana.
