GRANGEVILLE — Nearly two years after a group of Idaho and Lewis county officials met to brainstorm ways to bring a mental health crisis, recovery or outreach center to the local area, the goal remains out of reach.
“Nobody is picking it up,” said Jim Rehder, of Cottonwood, chairperson of the Region 2 Behavioral Health Board. “Officials haven’t picked it up and run with it. People are supportive — they say they are. But there’s nobody taking any kind of action. We’re stuck in a rut and not going anywhere at all.”
