[PC-BH-Integration] Integration "Tips"/Advice

[Bill McFeature]

Thanks to leaders in the PCBHI field like Blount Alexander and Kirk
Strosahl, we have been in the process with Radford University Faculty in
developing a BHC Certificate program for all disciplines of Psychology,
Clinical Counseling ,and Clinical Social Work programs who have "bought in"
to the importance of both academic and brief treatment/ clinical training in
preparing future behavioral health specialist to work within primary care
settings as well as seasoned licensed BH practitioners in need of the BHC
certificate.

We also have found that training is crucial.  We have trained over 1300
mental health professionals to be successful behavioral health clinicians in
primary care.  For the fall,  we have compressed our Certificate Program in
Primary Care Behavioral Health into three months while adding available
hours of training.

Training is critical-training on integrated care, training on how to
practice in integrated settings and training about other disciplines on the
integrated team and training on how to work as part of a transdisciplinary
team-the stronger the training the stronger the foundation will be for
developing an integrated care system that will truly change the face of
care delivery in the organization !

CIHS would like to share "Integration Tips" via a daily publication at the
upcoming National Council Conference. 

 

Do you have one (or a few), overarching tidbit/advice to share with
colleagues around the nation interested in integrating care?

 

We appreciate your help and look forward to sharing your insight and
experience with others.
