The National Rural Behavioral Health Center is sponsored by the College of Public Health and Health Professions and the Institute for Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS). In order to promote research, education, and service designed to improve the status of behavioral health care to rural Americans and to increase access and utilization of these services, the Center for Mental Health Services has established the National Rural Behavioral Health Center at the University of Florida. The NRBHC supports behavioral health scientists, educators, scholars, and practitioners dedicated to improving the health care status of rural Americans. The Center focuses on: 1) rural disaster and trauma, 2) violence prevention, and 3) innovative models of health service delivery.
The mission of the NRBHC is to improve the quality of life of rural Americans through state of the art behavioral health research, education, service delivery, and training of health care professionals and community educators.
