Lydia Chwastiak, MD, MPH, Northwest MHTTC Co-Director, AIMS Center, Professor at the University of Washington, will present at the workshop "Caring for People with Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders in Primary Care Settings" on July 29, hosted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.

The workshop will examine approaches to facilitate the delivery of essential components of care for people with mental health and substance use disorders in primary care settings using a small set of tracer conditions, such as depression, alcohol use disorders, and substance use disorders. Due to restrictions on travel and public gatherings as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the workshop hosted by the Forum on Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders originally scheduled to be held in-person in Washington, DC, has been converted into a series of webinars on June 3, 2020, July 29, 2020, and August 26, 2020. The webinars will examine approaches to facilitate the delivery of essential components of care for people with mental health and substance use disorders in primary care settings, using three illustrative conditions (depression, alcohol use disorder and opioid use disorder) as a framework.

Part 2: Wednesday July 29, 2020 9:00 AM–12:30 PM Pacific

The second webinar will highlight the essential components of care for depression, alcohol use disorders, and opioid use disorders in primary care settings.
