Rural Provider PTSD Toolkit
Managing suicide risk, professional isolation, and providing care in areas lacking PTSD specialty providers can be daunting for the rural provider. Thankfully, technology advancements provide a critical reprieve. Online communities foster growth and mentoring among providers, and for patients, a growing number of health care organizations are now offering virtual treatment to the clinic or directly to a patient's home. This section of the toolkit offers tips for building a community of practice and ideas on how to incorporate telehealth, mobile apps, and online tools into your care, as well as strategies for managing suicide risk among rural patients.
