In the southeastern counties of Arizona, people face unique socioeconomic and infrastructural barriers to accessing adequate mental healthcare. For SEAHEC, the Southeast Arizona Health Education Center, addressing these barriers has been the core of their mission since 1985. These barriers require strategies that SEAHEC seeks to design and implement through community research, where the people who live in these areas have a say in what services and infrastructure they really need. Now with the investment of a six-million-dollar National Institutes of Health grant, multiple health coalitions from four counties will partner together to find sustainable and long-term solutions.
