November 20th is National Rural Health Day!

While uplifting the strengths of rural communities, we also recognize the many challenges they face. Limited access to care, isolation, climate and agricultural stress, and lack of privacy are all factors that can affect rural mental health.
To address these challenges, Mental Health America developed our Rural Mental Health Resource Center. Click on the link below and explore the resources to check your mental health.

60 million Americans live in rural areas. Living in a rural area – places not near cities and with small populations and large, open land areas – presents different advantages and disadvantages when it comes to caring for your mental health.
