Module 4: Implementation Strategies for Rural Mental Health Programs

Each rural health program designed to address mental health is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all implementation strategy. Successful programs identify existing resources and best practices and tailor them to address their community's needs. This module identifies key concepts to consider when implementing a program to improve rural mental health.
