Nevada persistently ranks at the bottom in the country for overall access to mental health services. ÐÔÊӽ紫ý faculty are developing initiatives to change this unacceptable situation. The statewide BeHERE NV initiative, for example, will recruit, educate, and retain mental health practitioners across the state, with the Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at ÐÔÊӽ紫ý serving as its administrative hub. And ÐÔÊӽ紫ý PRACTICE Clinic is implementing a strategic plan to unite graduate mental and behavioral training programs for the greatest impact.
