Description

In rural settings with severe workforce shortages, YMHC members are assigned across a rotation of sites (school, high school, alternative school, public library, restorative justice program) rather than a single placement. The report states this "multisite model, in which each member works across a rotation of sites, addresses the scarcity of resources in rural settings by maximizing one member's impact across diverse settings," keeping members present where students naturally congregate.
