Description of Collaborative Activity: |
On May 17, 2012, NIMH participated in a workshop entitled "Opportunities and Programs in Rural Communities" during the National Association for Rural Mental Health (NARMH) and AgriWellness Annual Meeting. The meeting brought together researchers, persons in recovery, healthcare providers, family members, advocates, and policy makers to learn about effective rural health programs and practices as well as new discoveries. In addition, participants discussed rural behavioral health policy, rural mental health research, and how best to reduce health disparities in rural populations. NIMH provided an overview of opportunities and programs supporting Rural Health at NIH. |
