On mental health resources in rural America

This is a topic I've blogged about from time to time, but since the last time I wrote about it, the stories have been stacking up, so I'm going to briefly summarize them here.  

Two of the stories are about farmers in particular.  

One is "Suicide rates are higher among farmers. Some Midwest states are teaching communities how to help," by Iowa Public Radio. 

The other farmer-focused story is on NPR last mont, "A new mental health hotline is focusing on providing support to farmers and ranchers."

This one is by the Colorado Sun, a nonprofit news, under the headline, "Many Colorado counties have no mental health team to respond to 911 crisis calls even though the state offers funding."
