Effective mental health support for rural communities begins with trust. Yet, for many programs and providers, gaining access to these communities can be challenging. Cultural dynamics, stigma, and the importance of local relationships mean that reaching people with new initiatives takes the right approach.
Whether you are launching a new program or looking to deepen your community engagement, this session will offer insight and proven strategies for respectfully and effectively connecting with rural communities.

- Discuss the mental health challenges rural communities face, including the ever-present stigma.
- Hear from individuals who have successfully addressed these challenges by partnering with trusted community messengers.
- Explore how to build authentic relationships and identify meaningful points of entry to support rural communities effectively.
This webinar is made possible in partnership with West Fraser.
