Health: Closing the gap: Increasing Mental Health Services in Martin County, IN

Project abstract

Due to the significant lack of mental health service providers in MC, need for mental health services, and barriers to receiving it, this project incorporated the strengths, barriers, and community-specific solutions to increasing services. First, we sought to understand the ways MC currently overcomes the discrepancy between mental health demands and providers. Second, we sought to understand the challenges MC faces in delivering mental health services. To do this, we will interviewed organization leaders and community members to understand the gaps in services. A thorough literature review further explored and sought to support these community-identified challenges. As a result of this analysis, we are currently supporting the community and facilitating the implementation of these proposals in MC that incorporate the strengths in the community and address the challenges they have identified. The current goal is to create a model for rural mental health service provision that can be replicated in other rural communities with similar strengths as well as similar challenges.
