Rural Mental Health Initiative
Meeting Community Needs
Explore mental health needs in rural Northeast Texas and opportunities for East Texas A&M to leverage its resources to address those needs.
Identify Challenges, Seek Solutions
We aim to provide space for regional stakeholders—including city, county and law enforcement officials, K-12 school administrators, agency employees and community members, to discuss multiple issues regarding rural mental health. Our goal is to create a coalition of regional partners to identify challenges and seek solutions.
