Montana is a state that is ravaged by a suicide epidemic and mental health crisis, particularly among its youth. In an area in which harsh climates, geographic challenges, and distance to rural healthcare providers are significant barriers to mental healthcare accessibility, educators are faced with the acute social and emotional challenges of their students on a daily basis. This article documents the process and promise of utilizing novel and innovative community-based participatory research to support rural schools. By integrating a trauma-informed intervention in the school setting, while mobilizing local community resources, this interdisciplinary approach shows the ability to address the needs of adolescents while supporting rural educators.
蒙大拿州正遭受自杀流行和心理健康危机的重创，尤其是在其青少年群体中。在这样一个地区，恶劣的气候、地理挑战以及与农村医疗服务提供者的距离，都是获得心理健康护理的重大障碍，教育工作者每天都面临着学生们严峻的社会和情感挑战。本文记录了利用新颖且创新的基于社区的参与性研究来支持农村学校的过程和前景。通过在学校环境中整合创伤知情干预措施，同时调动当地社区资源，这种跨学科方法显示出有能力在支持农村教育工作者的同时满足青少年的需求。
