Workshop: Integrated Behavioral Health: An Overview
3 Hours
$200 Registration
The live professional training program on Integrated Behavioral Health: An Overview is presented by Jerrod Brown, PhD.
Integrative behavioral health is a type of whole-person care, focusing on the interconnections between the body, mind, and physical actions. As such, integrated behavioral health can include a diverse variety of topics including mental health, life stressors and crises, nutrition, sleep, stress-related physical symptoms, and substance use. Because clients with mental health problems often suffer from co-occurring physical health issues, providing services through an integrated behavioral health lens may result in improved outcomes.
Developed for professionals, this program explores how an integrated behavioral health care approach is likely beneficial for clients seeking services from behavioral health providers. Related topics covered during this program will include: Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), behavioral health care in an era of COVID-19, Behavioral Health Consultants (BHC), biopsychosocial influenced health conditions, choice-making, collaborative care, domains of functioning, and personal resources, health benefits of social connections, health disparities, illness self-management, personal stigma problems, person-centered attitudes and behaviors, positive psychological health behaviors, resilience, strengths-based approaches, telehealth approaches, toxic stress, well-being, wellness coaching services, and whole-person interventions among others.
Practical tips, strategies, and solutions will be shared throughout this training with the goal of improving screening, goal planning, and intervention practices through an integrated behavioral health lens. Empirically-based research findings will be highlighted throughout this program.
