Why is this a priority?

Living in our rural county comes with unique challenges when it comes to mental health care. Our residents often face limited access to services, transportation barriers, and social isolation. These challenges, combined with the stigma around seeking help, can make it harder for people to get the support they need. But we're changing that, because we believe everyone deserves access to quality behavioral health care.
