Steve Runner said… - That's great. Will you be speaking on campus? I'm sure Natalie will be excited to have you there.
I have some good "rural" news as well. Pine Rest offered me a job in Pella, IA starting when internship ends. I'm very excited to be moving back that way. Pella is a nice sized town (12,000 or so), but Pine Rest in Pella pulls people from as far as 60 miles away because there are no other options. It is considered a rural underserved area. I'm excited to get going out there.

- I didn't overlap with Heidi but I heard about her from profs and supervisors while at Wheaton. I met her when Pine Rest visited Wheaton last year and made a good connection there. It was through her that I got in touch with the clinic manager in Pella. He ended up asking me for my resume and interviewed me when he was in Grand Rapids. So, if it wasn't for the connection with Heidi, I don't know if I would be in Pella. I'm looking forward to getting to know her a little bit once we move.

Jeremy Bidwell said… - Perhaps add PA / Nurse Practitioner to the list. That will be an increasingly common link for us in rural settings.

- You should also add a "News and Development in Rural Mental Health" category to the forums, and a category for "General Discussions".
I have something to put into the first one to start things off.
- At 4:23pm on March 7, 2008, Jeremy Bidwell said…
- Talk about the ideal place to discuss plans for potato cannons........
BUT.....I'll try to add things more directly linked to mental health topics.
Thanks.

- Thanks! I've been meaning to call you but time seems to get away from me. I'll be in the area on Friday (coming in for a Theraplay conference on Saturday) and hope to stop by.

- My current project is planning events in Anaconda for Children's Mental Health Awareness Day, May 8. It looks like we may have a booth at a local health fair, and we hope to plan something with the "Are you MAD (Making A Difference) group in the high school.
I'm also recruiting a local parent to serve on a subcommitee of the Children's System of Care Committee which is working on recommendations to the Interim Law and Justice Committee of the state legislature. They are talking about proposing a secure correctional mental health faciltiy to serve the 22 or so kids they have sent (and are paying for) to out of state treatment. Right now, no one wants to seve the really tough kids (SED, DD, possibly psychotic or sex offenders)--they all say "we don't have a track record of doing well with these types of kids". If the Department of Corrections wants to help us develop services that WOULD be willing to serve these kids it could be a good thing, but a youth version of the State Hospital would not.
Maybe I'll also find a picture to post one of these days.
