For National Rural Health Day, SAMHSA celebrates the unique strengths of rural communities. SAMHSA empowers rural resilience by providing resources and tools that address behavioral health; supporting rural communities’ ability to mitigate, adapt, and recover from stressors; promoting behavioral health equity; and building and retaining a diverse, robust, and resilient behavioral health workforce.

Nutritional psychology has recently been the focal point of research about how to manage behavioral health issues and maintain overall supportive health through diet. Participants will learn how to use a grocery list to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, post-partum depression, and a variety of other behavioral health conditions. Experts provide practical tools for pursing wellness, with the end goal of providing hope, quality of life, and a shift in mindset from disease management to the framework of pursuing wellness.
