Abstract
Service needs of rural severely mentally ill and strengths of rural co mmunities are addressed. Health care reform policy development at pres ent appears to neglect the seriously mentally ill in general and rural services specifically. Examples of strategies to meet the needs for h ealth care, psychiatric treatment, psychosocial rehabilitation and app ropriate housing are described. The advantages and drawbacks of such e fforts are considered.
