Idaho Partner in the National Institute of Mental Heath Outreach Partnership Program
The Institute of Rural Health at ISU is the Idaho partner in the NIMH Outreach Partnership Program. This nationwide initiative is from the the NIMH's Office of Constituency Relations and Public Liaison (OCRPL) with support from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and in cooperation with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) . As members of the OPP, the IRH participates with other national and state organizations to strengthen the public health impact of research by disseminating the latest scientific findings; informing the public about mental disorders, alcoholism, and drug addiction; and reducing the associated stigma and discrimination. The Program also provides NIMH with the opportunity to engage community organizations in a dialog to help develop a national research agenda to improve America’s mental health.
