November 20th is National Rural Health Day!

With over 60 million Americans living in rural areas, Mental Health America honors the vital contributions and unique experiences of rural communities. Today, they celebrate the resilience and resourcefulness of rural communities.

While uplifting the strengths of rural communities, they 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 their Rural Mental Health Resource Center.

Made in collaboration with West Fraser, MHA’s Rural Resource Center features resources on treatment and support options, addressing stigma, promoting belonging and connection, farming and agriculture, and youth-specific content.

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.

Happening today: Join us for a powerful Ask the Expert focused on the mental health emergency affecting millions of people living in rural America. 🌾

Despite playing a vital role in harvesting, raising, and producing the food that sustains us all, rural communities face significant barriers to mental health care — including lack of providers, isolation, and persistent stigma. These barriers contribute to su***de rates that are 49% higher than in urban areas. 💬

Today’s session, Recognizing and Overcoming Barriers to Mental Health in Rural America, features Jeff Winton, Founder and Chairman of Rural Minds, who brings lived experience and a national perspective on improving rural mental health equity.
