Providing Mental Health Telehealth Services in Farming and Rural Communities

Providing Mental Health Telehealth Services in Farming and Rural Communities

Part three in a three-part series: Improving Mental Health Service Access for Farming and Rural Communities 

This webinar will address how the COVID-19 pandemic affects access to care, specifically mental health services. Presenters will discuss how access to care is critical for farming and rural and frontier communities and highlight the unique barriers these communities face. Presenters will also provide information about telehealth service and resources, and how best practices developed prior and during the pandemic may provide longer-term solutions to mental health care access for farmers and rural communities. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how telehealth services work and how these services are implemented in real-world settings.
