This pandemic has only amplified the demand on already scarce healthcare access in rural and frontier communities across our nation. The unique experiences of rural, agricultural and tribal communities have dramatically increased the need for expanded mental and behavioral health services, but how do we grow and scale our already limited services to address this growing need? This session will address different strategies and ideas to reach rural and frontier communities. The panelists will represent tribal and rural health providers and team members from our Mountain Plains Mental Health Technology Transfer Center Network.
Please hold Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 2-3:00 p.m. MT for Office Hour sessions focused on different topics featuring how providers are continuing to provide services through this pandemic. Check out National Council’s COVID-19 Resource Page and the Center of Excellence events page frequently to learn more and register for upcoming sessions.
This series is supported by the Center of Excellence for Integrated Health Solutions, funded by a grant award from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). If you have any questions about these sessions or any others in this series, please contact [email protected].
