What’s going on in Greater Minnesota?

A special live webinar from the Center for Rural Policy and Development

Greater Minnesota’s communities are changing, and this can present new challenges and opportunities. Join us virtually on Thursday, February 6 as we explore important topics including the rural workforce and population shifts, mental health, and elder care.

The State of Rural: Updated population estimates show that rural Minnesota counties again experienced a population increase from in-migration. CRPD will explain these shifts and the impacts they are having on counties across Greater Minnesota.

Mental health: Families in rural communities face a number of headwinds when it comes to accessing mental health services for their children. We’ll discuss mental health issues facing Greater Minnesota.

Elder care in Greater MN: Many Minnesotans will need to use some form of professional long-term care, either through agencies providing home health care or by taking up residence in an assisted living or nursing facility. Workforce shortages and changes in consumer preference are impacting long-term care across the state. We’ll take a look at what’s happening.

Join us virtually:
Thursday, February 6, 2025
1:00-2:30 p.m.
Pre-registration required

Thank you to our friends at Sourcewell for partnering with CRPD on this event.
