Story Behind the Curve

Strategies to improve these indicators

Why Is This Important?

Substance Use, Mental Health and Obesity were ranked the most concerning by individuals that took the Needs Assessment Survey and the data supports these concerns. While we recognize that Substance Abuse and Obesity are "New Perspectives" and that Mental Health is a local indicator the Talbot Family Network Board believes that these are the issues that are impacting Talbot's Children and Families the most.
