Mayville non-profit hopes to address growing mental health crisis in rural communitieS – WKBW-TV

Rural communities, specifically those working in agriculture, face many struggles in their day-to-day lives. However, one struggle that many don't talk about is one that deals with mental health.

"We have to get to the point where we're talking openly about mental illness and substance abuse disorder," Jeff Winton, Founder & Chairman of Rural Minds, said. "Because if people will feel comfortable at least talking to one person about it, even though we have constrained resources in rural America, they do exist, but you have to admit that you need help, and that's where the journey begins."
