Pandemic Response

Our team here at the Mid-America MHTTC and our national network know that this is a difficult and unprecedented time for us all. We are working hard to pull together resources and content to support our behavioral health providers in their efforts to meet the mental health needs of our communities across our region and beyond. We also recognize that many of us have questions about what life will be like after this event and are trying to prepare for our "new normal." We are looking toward our trusted sources and colleagues for information on how to help cope with and prepare for what is to come. We will continue to update you on new resources as they become available. You can access them here through:
