This presentation imparts anti-oppressive educational implications based on research investigating the role of nights spent homeless in recent mental health emergency department use for treatment-seeking, adults in one rural, community-based outpatient clinic. Providing these findings highlights course content that could promote place-responsive mental health services for this medically underserved population.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this session, attendees should be able to:
Upon completion, the participant will be able to define “nights spent homeless” and “mental health emergency department use.”
Upon completion, the participant will be able to identify the role of nights spent homeless in recent mental health emergency department usage from the perspective of the study participants.
Upon completion, the participant will be able to identify at least two anti-oppressive curriculum implications from the findings of this research to support place-oriented justice for rural mental healthcare populations.
