    While there are certainly many challenges we face in rural settings, there can also be significant advantages to living and working in a smaller community. From building a program from the ground up to growing and sustaining service delivery models, this panel discussion will explore creative solutions for converting perceived barriers into assets when thinking about maximizing shared resources to strengthen collaboration and care coordination in rural communities.

    Learning Objectives:

    • Recognize the importance of adapting collaboration and care coordination efforts based on the unique needs of their rural service area population
    • Identify approaches to barriers facing their organization/community using existing relationships and shared resources
    • Shift perspective from being discouraged by the numerous barriers to an appreciation for the often-overlooked benefits of rural behavioral health practice
