Case Conceptualizations: Understanding & Contextualizing Rural Mental Health Care

Case Conceptualizations: Understanding & Contextualizing Rural Mental Health Care


October 26, 2021

2:00 - 3:15 PM/MST | 3:00 - 4:15 PM/CST


This is a closed session presented at the Northwest Regional Primary Care Association/Community Health Association of Mountain Plains States 2021 Virtual Fall Primary Care Conference

 

Participants will review the challenges experienced when delivering mental health care to rural and remote populations. Session participants will be provided with six comprehensive toolkits addressing common challenges experienced in treating rural persons (co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders and farm stress, rural provider well-being, providing social supports in rural school settings, culturally responsive care for indigenous school children, culturally responsive care for tribal law enforcement officers). These toolkits provide suggested treatment best practices for supporting rural populations who are accessing behavioral health care. The session will close with a discussion and review of resources provided in toolkits for participants to use in their own clinics and practice to support education of the behavioral health workforce.

 

Learning objectives:

 

  1. Explain the culture of rural and remote communities.
  2. Identify the three A’s (accessibility, acceptability, affordability) as barriers to mental health prevention and treatment for people living in rural areas.
  3. Identify where to access free toolkits specifically developed to offer evidence-based practices and case presentations to aid in the delivery of high-quality behavioral health care for people in rural communities.
