Lessons from the Field: Building and Growing Mobile Behavioral Health Programs
In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, the Mobile Healthcare Association brings together leading voices in rural behavioral health to explore what it really takes to build and grow mobile services that meet communities where they are.
In this conversation, leaders from the field share practical insights, real-world challenges, and actionable strategies for launching and expanding mobile behavioral health programs—especially in rural and underserved areas.
Featured speakers include Tracy Goldbach and Kim Miller of Ridgeview Behavioral Health Services, along with Jonas Cooper of Community Action Council, who is currently developing a pediatric-focused mobile behavioral health initiative in Eastern Kentucky.
May 2026 marks the 77th annual Mental Health Awareness Month, with the theme “More Good Days Together,” emphasizing collective well-being, reducing stigma, and strengthening community support. For mobile healthcare providers, this message is more than symbolic—it reflects the urgent need for accessible, community-based care.
Key takeaways from this discussion highlight a clear message: mobile behavioral health programs are not only possible—they are urgently needed.
