A Special Webinar:Ìý June 19,Ìý2013Ìý 3:00 – 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time.
“Bridging the Gap between Health and Mental Health for Persons with Serious Mental Health Conditions”
Improving the quality of life through the integration of health and mental health is one of the key goals of U.S. federal initiatives including the Affordable Health Care Act, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s Center for Integrated Health Solutions and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid.
In this webinar, presenters will be considering the systems, services and individual perspectives on the need and the opportunities to bridge the divide between health and mental health. The webinar will begin with an overview of research on health/mental health integration.Ìý Following this, a person with lived experience who has been a student in the Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation’s Recovery Services, will tell her story about how the absence of integration and collaboration led to serious problems.Ìý Finally, presenters will describe the program at Boston University and how it was replicated and adapted in Arizona with approval and funding by Medicaid.Ìý
