WEBINAR - Care for the Whole Person: Integrating Behavioral Health and Primary Care

Behavioral health is recognized as one of the most critical needs of patients in primary care settings. For a number of documented reasons, most patients seek help for behavioral health problems in primary care. Additionally there is a growing shortage of mental health providers and limited access to public mental health services for patients without major mental health conditions, particularly in rural areas. However, behavioral health problems often go undetected or untreated in the primary care setting. Yet, when done effectively, treating behavioral health problems in primary care presents opportunities for early intervention and prevention of disabling medical and behavioral health conditions.

This webinar will address current strategies to integrate primary care and behavioral health. Dr Medrano will provide an overview of strategies to employ in developing an integrated behavioral and primary care program. This will be illustrated with case studies that demonstrate the real world impact of integrated programs.
