How is technical assistance defined?
Understanding the term "technical assistance" within the framework of substance abuse and mental health can be confusing. Here, the definition of "technical assistance" refers to the process of providing targeted support to an organization with a development need or problem, which is typically delivered over an extended period of time.

Social connection impacts our health in a variety of ways. It can decrease anxiety and depression, helps us regulate our emotions and it can also increase our empathy towards one another and lead to stronger relationships.
Across the Great Lakes Region we celebrate, elevate and support the work across all the diverse partnerships in the Midwest working to empower rural communities to achieve better health through education, outreach, and connection.
This month, we take a moment to highlight a few of our Indigenous Professional partner services.
