Project Description
What is it about?
The objective of our project is to assist rural, frontier, and Tribal communities in the treatment of child traumatic stress through technology-augmented resources. This effort offers rural health professionals tools for optimal practice management, evidence-based clinical protocols, effective personnel recruiting, up-to-date reimbursement knowledge, and telehealth innovations.
How will it help me?
Health professionals who have better resources and feel better about their work will have better professional quality of life. As a result, clinicians can provide improved care, and practice management will be optimized. Consumers and family members will benefit from improved care.
Who can participate?
Physicians, nurses, mental health providers, even teachers and community leaders—anyone who deals with child trauma in rural communities. Consultations also are available to schools, parents, and other community groups to address access and other barriers to child trauma treatment.
What is involved?
ISU-IRH is offering providers in rural, frontier, and Tribal areas with FREE training and consultation regarding:
- Assessment tools for traumatic stress.
- Educational resources about trauma, including your own access to Internet databases and video-streaming presentations that may offer free continuing-education credits.
- Reimbursement programs for mental health services to rural clients.
- Financial incentive assistance for recruiting and retaining rural mental health providers.
- Financial assistance for telecommunication technology.
- Resource tools to lessen stigma for seeking and utilizing mental health treatment.

Please note that much of the information about assessment and
intervention available on this archive is intended for professionals
with clinical training. Utilization of such information should be
consistent with your areas of licensed or
certified expertise. It is strongly recommended that professionals seek
additional supervision when incorporating any new assessment or
therapeutic techniques if they do not already have appropriate
prerequisite training that would enable them to learn about and
incorporate such skills independently.
