Module 4: Implementation Strategies for Rural Mental Health Programs

Each rural mental health program 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 mental health.

For a broad overview of rural program implementation, see Implementing a Rural Community Health Program in the Rural Community Health Toolkit.
