Oregon State University Coast to Forest: Mental Health Promotion in Rural Oregon

“The Coast to Forest collaboration between the OSU Extension Family and Community Health Program and the OSU Center for Health Innovation works on mental health promotion and substance misuse prevention. Our goals work to:

Reduce opioid misuse and abuse and their underlying causes and consequences
Improve mental health and well-being in four rural or frontier Oregon counties: Lincoln, Tillamook, Baker, and Union
The Coast to Forest initiative builds upon existing state and community strengths and resources. This includes a growing network of community health workers, radio stations covering communities’ health and wellness, community-level partnerships and an expanding Mental Health First Aid network.”
