Statewide Aggregate Rural Health Needs Assessment: Mental Health and Wellbeing
Rural communities across New York State are experiencing urgent behavioral health challenges. NYSARH produced a set of reports and data tools to help rural communities assess, plan, implement, and advocate for the programs, services, and policies to address these challenges and support the mental health and wellbeing of rural residents.
The SARHNA presents the first statewide assessment of rural behavioral health needs at the county level in NYS, while the Diversity Dashboard maps county-and subcounty-level demographic and health-related data.
The Implementation Guide & Companion detail a selection of evidence-based practices and resources to address different behavioral health access needs identified in the SARHNA.
The White Paper synthesizes information from the SARHNA and Implementation Guide, presenting practice and policy recommendations around integrated care for anxiety and depression.
