Dear Kansas Healthcare Partner,
Rural Health Education and Services' (RHES) goal is to partner with healthcare facilities throughout the state to strengthen the healthcare workforce. As the demand for behavioral health services increases, rural hospitals and clinics have shared the need for assistance to identify reimbursable services to financially support positions and the need for additional education to build and recruit a behavioral health team.
The download, Strengthening the Behavioral Health Workforce Model Guidebook, provides valuable information and resources to grow your behavioral health team. You'll find strategies for growing, integrating, and sustaining a behavioral health workforce.
The creation of this guidebook was funded by the Kansas Health Foundation's Capacity and Impact Grant. The Kansas Health Foundation creates strategies and develops partnerships to improve health for all Kansans by reducing health disparities and focusing on health equity. We hope this guidebook serves as a valuable resource as you grow your behavioral health services.
To aid us in evaluating this resource, we value your feedback. After you have reviewed the guidebook, take a moment to complete a 2-minute evaluation.
For more information, assistance in your recruitment and retention initiatives, or technical assistance in building a strong workforce, contact us at or visit our website at ruralhealth.kumc.edu.
Sincerely,
Joyce Grayson, Director
Rural Health Education and Services
The University of Kansas Medical Center
