The Rural Children’s Mental Health Consortium (RCMHC) is dedicated to assessing the mental and behavioral health needs of youth across Nevada’s rural and frontier communities. Its mission is to develop actionable recommendations for service delivery improvements while fostering initiatives that create enduring positive changes within the Behavioral Health System of Care for these populations. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated long-standing challenges in an already strained system, disproportionately impacting rural youth and families. In response, the RCMHC remains committed to evaluating the ever-evolving needs of these communities and advocating for systems that address these challenges effectively and sustainably.
