About this Training Series: 

This free multi-session training opportunity for NC community health center providers will address everyday challenges experienced by clinicians treating patients who present with behavioral health conditions. Participants will learn or refresh their knowledge and application of skills in integrated care settings across the patient engagement process: from the initial primary care provider (PCP) referral to measuring outcomes as treatment concludes. Occurring on Wednesdays (April 3 - May 29 | 12:00 PM ET), this interactive training series, led by an expert on bidirectional integration of primary care and behavioral health, will consist of one-hour training sessions and supplemental enhanced learning sessions in which participants can take a deeper dive through Q&A with the instructor, small-group discussions, and shared learning.
