This presentation is intended for those who are or are interested in working with rural men. The first portion of the presentation will cover introductory information related to rural men’s experiences. Specifically, identifying common service access-related barriers. We then will discuss ways that providers can advocate for and address these barriers in their practices. The second portion of the presentation will then discuss the limited research on evidence-based interventions specific to rural communities, let alone rural men. This discussion will highlight what support there is and introduce clinicians to therapeutic interventions/skills that can be used with rural men that emerging evidence supports.

At the end of the talk, participants will be able to:

1. Identify 3 common therapy and assessment access-related issues for rural men.

2. Create 2 plans to increase access to services for rural men.

3. Apply emerging evidence-supported interventions for working with rural men.
