2024 summary report.

This year Mental Health was the second most impactful indicator on our county’s overall well-being score. Results also showed that mental health is strongly related to multiple areas of wellbeing; our physical health, sense of purpose and meaning, relationships with others, and opportunities for learning and growth.
