Rural residents and tribal members receive targeted outreach and culturally sensitive mental health support.
Most services are low-cost or no-cost, and support is available regardless of insurance or documentation status.
Emergency departments and law enforcement teams work in tandem with local mental health professionals.
Peer support, suicide loss support groups, and community education are offered throughout the state.
