Addressing Montana's Suicide Crisis: How BHCS is Making a Difference

Jay Getten | Sep 25, 2023 | 3 min read

Introduction

Montana has a grim statistic that we can't afford to ignore. For over 40 years, our state has ranked among the top five in the nation for suicide rates. As of 2020, Montana was third highest with 25.9 suicides per 100,000 people. For neurodiverse individuals, the risk is even more alarming. A significant contributing factor is the lack of accessible mental health services. This is where Behavioral Health Consulting Solutions (BHCS) steps in, with a mission to provide effective, data-driven care to our community.
