Victor I. Howery Memorial Award
The “Victor I. Howery Memorial Award” is given for significant contributions to the field of rural mental health. This year’s recipient is Helene Silverblatt, MD. Helene is Professor of Psychiatry and Family and Community Medicine at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center. She is co-developer of the nationally award-winning UNM rural psychiatry residency program, for which she served as director for many years. She is also the Co-Principal Investigator of the UNM Transdisciplinary Evaluation and Support Clinic, a model inter-professional team that travels statewide to evaluate adults with ID/DD who have complex systems, behavioral, medical, and psychiatric concerns. As the Program Director of the New Mexico AHEC (Area Health Education Centers) Helene is able to connect her clinical and training expertise to develop easily adapted methods for behavioral health and integrated care workforce development, training, and retention. Her passion is rural mental health; her tenure as a board member of NARMH has inspired and nurtured her in incalculable ways.
