Nevada persistently ranks at the bottom in the country for overall access to mental health services. 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ 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 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ serving as its administrative hub. And 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ PRACTICE Clinic is implementing a strategic plan to unite graduate mental and behavioral training programs for the greatest impact.
