Welcome to NCFH’s Mental Health Resource Hub!
NCFH has developed this Mental Health Resource Hub 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.

The MHLC included learning sessions focused on understanding mental health conditions prevalent among MSAWs; occupational and environmental risk factors that contribute to mental health conditions; challenges and barriers in providing integrated mental health services; and the overall impact of COVID-19 on mental health service delivery.
Staff who participated in the MHLC included clinical supervisors and coordinators, Community Health Workers (CHWs), mental health providers, and other Health Center staff involved in the implementation and/or delivery of integrated behavioral health services.
Special thanks to our participating MHLC Members and guest speakers!
