SUMMARY:CoE-IHS Webinar: Part 2- Rural Telehealth for Youth in Schools & Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Due to structural urbanism\, rural areas often face a shortage of mental health & medical professionals\, limited access to healthcare facilities\, and long travel distances to receive care. Children and youth in rural\, frontier and tribal communities have been particularly impacted by this limitation in access to equitable health care\, especially as the need for youth mental health has increased in recent years. \nTelehealth and mobile health are tools that can address the healthcare disparities that exist in rural communities\, specifically to offer support for children and youth in schools as the national youth mental health crisis continues. For children and youth who live in rural\, frontier and tribal communities\, telehealth and mobile health can be a lifeline by addressing health disparities and bringing care directly to those who need it most. \nJoin us for Part 2 of our rural telehealth webinar series\, Rural Telehealth for Youth in Schools & Beyond\, on Tues. May 16\, 2-3 p.m. ET to learn more and share your ideas. In this session\, experts will discuss how their organization is working to address structural urbanism for youth in rural communities by leveraging integrated telehealth services across the state of Texas. \nRegister here >>
