Area professionals, practitioners, and stakeholders gather for a rural health care summit Friday.
The Delta Solutions Rural Health Summit provides a forum to discuss challenges and ideas to address issues surrounding services and access for those with addictive, behavioral, or developmental disabilities.
"We wanted to provide this session to educate individuals in our area, as well as rural areas, about support services," says Northeast Delta Human Services Authority Corporate Compliance Director Avius Zimmerman.
Topics include the stigmatization of behavioral health services in rural areas, identifying real-time resources, and support services.
Zimmerman is hopeful ideas produced in the summit can be developed by agencies. "We encourage them to apply those ideas in their office or in the field when providing services," she said.
