APPLE - FRC’s Outreach Model
The Farm Resource Center (FRC) offers outreach mental health crisis intervention services to rural families using the "APPLE" principle as a guide.
- Accessible - Toll free hotline and a 24-hour Emergency Phone Response are available during hours when the office is closed. Our workers go to the consumer.
- Personal - The Consumer chooses the location where he/she wants to be seen for services.
- Professional - Our workers maintain professional standards by utilizing the National Association of Social Workers Code of Ethics as a guide in the provision of services.
- Linked - Our staff is required to be familiar with local organizations and resources, and have a positive working relationship with them to enhance the referral process.
- Empathetic - FRC workers have firsthand experience and understanding of the rural culture. This provides our workers with insight, sensitivity and understanding of the needs of those seeking our services.
