Rural Mental Health Resilience Program Launch Webinar

Recognizing the self-reliance and do-it-yourself mindset that are common among many people living in rural America, the Rural Mental Health Resilience Program provides a toolkit with free mental health information, resources and training to help rural residents improve mental health in their communities.

This webinar will feature the experience of those who have already used the program to start a conversation about mental health in their rural communities. In addition to sharing best practices and hosting a Q&A session, we will briefly demonstrate how to easily access materials on the program’s webpage so you can:

• Empower yourself and others with the knowledge to become part of the solution for improving rural mental health and reducing the stigma surrounding mental illness in your community.

• Know the facts about rural mental health challenges, mental illness and suicide.

• Confront the mental health emergency in your local community and throughout rural America.

• Encourage or lead difficult conversations about mental illness and suicide that must be heard.

• Serve as a trusted source of information so you can help your family, friends and community.

The webinar will be moderated by Rural Minds Vice President of Communications Julie Lux and presented live via Zoom with the option to hear audio as listen-only.

Mental Health America of Fredericksburg staff are attending this workshop and wanted to share this opportunity with you.
