ANKENY, Iowa (WOI) – More than 60% of rural Americans live in areas where there aren’t enough providers for mental health services. A clinical director at Central Iowa Psychological services in Ankeny says it’s a big problem in Iowa and across the nation.
Warren Phillips already started a program called Psychiatric and Behavior Health Consultation (PBHC). Medical providers can enroll in to help Iowans access these much-needed services.
The program is funded by a regional grant so providers can get enrolled for free online.
