Show Coniiiiuitfty Resource Directory Released The Mental Health Association of Utah County this week released the 1977 update of the Community Resource Directory. The directory is a composite listing of Utah Valley service, human development and resource agencies. It is updated every year by the Mental Health Association in cooperation with other community agencies. Over 185 different agencies which serve the people in Utah Valley are listed in the directory. Information contained in the directory includes; address, ad-dress, telephone number, purpose and service offered by each of the agencies. "The Community Resource Directory was designed to prevent duplication of services ser-vices by the different agencies," agen-cies," said Doug Rich, Chairman of the Resource Directory Committee. "It clearly defines what each agency does." The directory completed last August was compiled with the cooperation of over 300 people working 625 hours on an all-volunteer basis. "The willingness of the many agencies, BYU students, and other interested community volunteers, to give freely of their time accounts ac-counts for the success in completing the directory," said Alida Heiner, secretary of the United Way Mental Health Agency. The Resource Directory Committee is a non-profit organization and is making the directory available at cost to anyone interested. It is available upon request from the local Mental Health Association - telephone 373-4400. 373-4400. (Ext. 276) "We've had tremendous response from state and local government agencies, religious organizations, school districts, and students requesting the directory," Chairman Rich said. "Utah Valley residents will find the Resource Directory valuable in terms of understanding un-derstanding who to see for a particular service." |
