Integrative behavioral health is a type of whole-person care focusing on the interconnections between the body, mind, and physical actions. As such, integrated behavioral health can include a diverse variety of topics, including mental health, life stressors and crises, nutrition, sleep, stress-related physical symptoms, and substance use. Because clients with mental health problems often suffer from co-occurring physical health issues, providing services through an integrated behavioral health lens may result in improved outcomes.
Developed for professionals, this program explores how an integrated behavioral health care approach is likely beneficial for clients seeking services from behavioral health providers. Practical tips, strategies, and solutions are shared throughout this program with the goal of improving screening, goal planning, and intervention practices through an integrated behavioral health lens. Empirically-based research findings are highlighted throughout this program.
