NCFH has developed this Mental Health Resource Hub, as a result of a Mental Health Learning Collaborative conducted in 2021, to address the need for information on behavioral health integrated services and mental health with Migratory and Seasonal Agricultural Workers (MSAWs). We also seek to provide this population greater access to culturally appropriate mental health services across the country.
The Mental Health Resource Hub provides patient education materials, mental health screening tools, and national resources that support mental health outreach and advance integrated behavioral health interventions utilized with the MSAW population. It also features screening tools gathered from guest speakers and health resources and patient education materials developed by NCFH with input from the Mental Health Learning Collaborative (MHLC), a collaboration supported by HRSA to the build the capacity of health center staff within Migrant and Community Health centers in successfully integrating behavioral health services with primary care for their MSAW patients.
Access mental health resources and patient education materials produced by NCFH here.
Other mental health resources are also available for agricultural worker populations.
Some of NCFH’s partners have also produced mental health resources related to agricultural worker populations and the health centers that serve them.
National helplines are available throughout the country for confidential support to anyone needing assistance or wanting additional information about how to support someone in crisis.
Mental health screening tools are tools designed to help health care providers determine if someone is experiencing symptoms of a mental health problem through a set of questions.
National mental health organizations have additional mental health information and resources available.
