Project Summary

The Southwest Missouri Rural Health Services network will collaborate to provide resources and services to vulnerable women and their families who may be at risk for SUD and its impact within their homes. Each network member is committed to supporting at-risk community members impacted by social determinants of health, lack of resources, and other barriers to treatment access. Services and resources supported through the consortium will be accessible to all community members to benefit the health and wellness of the rural population through partnerships and accessible services. Each network member is committed to coordinating services to make treatment for SUD accessible, manageable, and sustainable. This includes prenatal care, MAT, daycare access, family support services, counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, and peer support. Coordinating services that support the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of individuals in the rural communities served through the Network will directly impact overall health and wellness of this generation and generations to come.
