Editors' Note: This story ran in our October newsletter, published Oct. 4.

 

Three new infographic briefs explaining the benefits of integrated behavioral health and primary care are available for free to health care professionals and students.

 

The handouts introduce core concepts in integrated care to practitioners and students. Integrated behavioral health and primary care is the Mid-America MHTTC's area of focus. Our trainers draw upon decades of combined experience working in integrated care settings, as well as firsthand knowledge of how many children, adults and families face limited access to behavioral health services, especially in rural and underserved inner-city areas.
