Abstract
This article describes the development of a nontraditional aftercare program set in a predominantly rural area. The program was initiated by a citizen's board concerned with the lack of follow-up services provided to patients discharged from a distant state hospital. The planning format as conceived by representatives of this board is outlined and the steps involved in operationalizing specific services and a research program are described. Lastly, a number of limitations of the program and future directions are enumerated.
