Nationally, screenings of The Providers are sparking conversation about rural healthcare, substance use disorder, and patient-centered care. To facilitate these discussions, the filmmakers collaborated with partners at ITVS and Blueshift Education to develop a companion guide to support screenings. This free discussion guide offers contextual information about the film, tips on hosting a successful screening event, and ways to engage your audience through questions, discussions, and activities.

Additional guides with lesson plans specific to High School and Higher Education are available at PBS Learning Media.
