We want to hear from you!
Every 5 years, San Juan Basin Public Health (SJBPH) determines the health and wellness needs facing Archuleta and La Plata counties. SJBPH is gathering data and feedback from diverse members of our communities that will help build plans for addressing the top health needs in our region. This survey is an opportunity for us to hear from you about your health priorities and what issues you feel need to be addressed in your community.
This survey is open to any Archuleta or La Plata County resident over 18 years of age, and should take less than 15 minutes to complete. All responses are anonymous. If you prefer a paper survey, these are available at the SJBPH front desk. Submissions of the survey will be accepted through April 6th, 2018.

As prevention professionals, you have likely seen issues that are common among the youth, families and communities you work with - issues like poverty, families dealing with substance abuse, and youth who are not connected to or do not feel safe at school. We often refer to these issues as "shared risk and protective factors". This conference focuses on learning and implementing strategies that take a shared risk and protective factor approach to prevent multiple forms of violence, injury and substance abuse, helping multiple programs and agencies achieve their desired outcomes.
