EP 42: Dr. Heidi Radunovich - Rural Mental Health
Our guest joining us today is Dr. Heidi Radunovich, Professor with UF/IFAS Family Youth and Community Sciences. After obtaining an MA and Ph.D. degree in Clinical Psychology at the University of South Florida, Dr. Radunovich has been a faculty member at the University of Florida since 2002, where she engaged in rural behavioral health research. While Heidi engages in teaching and research, much of her appointment has been in Extension where her work has involved projects related to disaster mental health training, agricultural mental health training, mental health needs of college students, and how Extension can support rural veterans.
Please reach out to Kendra Hughson for information on how to get local mental health training if interested and she can provide options depending on the location and audience: [email protected]. She can also advise about other opportunities, including Heir's Property and other financial trainings that might be helpful for our farmers.
