If we continue to focus on the people that show up, then those people that are not showing up, that doesn't mean they don't have a problem. That doesn't mean that they're not experiencing the same challenges, but it's bridging access, making things accessible to them so that they may be able to take part in some of the resources that are available.
Imagine living in a rural community where access to quality behavioral healthcare is a daily struggle. That's where Kim Nesbitt steps in. As a Public Health Analyst for the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy, Kim is at the forefront of tackling these challenges. In this episode, she shares her experiences and sheds light on the Behavioral Health Disparities Impact Statements (DIS), a crucial tool in addressing healthcare inequities in rural areas.
Kim's role as the program coordinator for the RCORP Psychostimulant Support grant program gives her a unique perspective on engaging underserved populations. She dives into the Strategic Prevention Framework, explaining how it helps communities create tailored solutions to their specific needs. Her insights are not just theoretical; they're grounded in real-world applications that make a difference. You'll also hear about the HHS Disparities Action Plan and the wealth of resources available to support these initiatives.
Kim's passion for her work is evident as she discusses the various ways RCORP grantees are making strides in improving behavioral healthcare access. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in public health, especially those focused on rural communities. Whether you're a healthcare provider, a policy maker, or someone directly affected by these issues, Kim's insights offer valuable perspectives on creating more equitable healthcare systems.
