Flathead Electric Cooperative invests $150K in youth mental health initiative

FLATHEAD VALLEY, Mont. – The Flathead Valley community is facing a significant challenge as youth mental health concerns continue to rise. Suicide rates in the area are more than twice the national average, largely due to limited access to services in rural parts of the state.

In response, the state's largest electric cooperative is taking action. The Flathead Electric Cooperative has invested more than $150,000 into a youth mental health grant, according to the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association.
