Abstract: Veterans and Families that live in rural and remote communities face unique barriers in accessing the mental health services they need. Not only do they experience similar barriers to Veterans and Families living in urban centres, such as stigma and a lack of cultural competency among providers, but they can also face different hindrances to accessibility. These barriers include the availability of services, such as the number of providers and types of services available in these communities. Additionally, geographical disparities, such as reliable Internet access and travel costs, are key considerations in improving mental health care access in these communities. The Atlas Institute for Veterans and Families hosted a roundtable in Winnipeg, MB in October 2024 to explore barriers to mental health care for rural and remote Veterans and Families and possible policy solutions to address those barriers. Attendees included service providers, researchers, government policy makers, Veterans and Families with either lived experience working or living in rural and remote communities. The findings from this roundtable have been synthesized into a summary report.
