Letter: Regional Wellness Center could fill many needs

I was stopped at Wal-Mart recently by a woman I know. We had a discussion about my letter to the Editor about the Reginal Wellness Center. 

Michelle said that she agreed with what I said in my letter and that she thought that it would be a good thing. She also applauded me for being an advocate for the Wellness Center. I explained that I have a motive for wanting to see the Center built. 

I would like to see a program started at the Wellness Center for mental health — a program put in place to teach people how to live in between and eventually without a crisis in their lives.

The program details could be worked out later.

Everyone’s concern now is how to pay for it. There must be grants available if there are plans for the Center to be used for mental health.

I also want to put my two cents in about the $500,000 given to the Steller project in Huntingburg. 

That money was given to a community project, not a countywide project. There’s a difference between the two projects.

Since this is a county-wide project, maybe the Dubois County Council would consider $750,000 over five years instead of the $500,000 over five years?
