Abstract:
The Manchester Project, and its attendant public health nursing activity, is described as a unique mental health program in the commonwealth of Kentucky. It continues to operate within the existing framework of four local county health departments in eastern Kentucky, and utilizes much public health technique, personnel, and methodology. By focussing upon the intrinsic mental health component of public health work, the project demonstrates an effective way of meeting community mental health needs in rural, impoverished areas.
