What does access to mental health care really look like in rural Minnesota? Sometimes, it looks like someone showing up at your door.

In a powerful op-ed published by the Minnesota Star Tribune, Kittson County Commissioner and Alluma Foundation founding director Theresia Gillie shares her deeply personal experience following the loss of her husband, Keith, to su***de — and the difference it made when an Alluma counselor came to her.

Her story is also an important reminder of why access to mental health and substance use care close to home matters, especially in rural communities.

Theresia writes about the role Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics, or CCBHCs, play in making that possible, and why she believes Congress should protect and strengthen this model of care.

We are grateful to Theresia for sharing her story and helping shine a light on the importance of accessible, community-based care.
