    • Community-based models are crucial for addressing healthcare disparities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a community mental health clinic model.
    • To illustrate the role of a family physician as a psychiatric consultant.
    • To explore solutions for improving rural mental healthcare access.

    Main Methods:
