The field of integrated behavioral health (IBH) focuses on the interconnections between the body, mind, and physical actions. As such, IBH can include a diverse variety of topics, including mental health, nutrition, sleep, and substance use, among others. Because individuals with mental health problems often suffer from co-occurring issues with trauma and physical health, integrated behavioral health approaches may offer improved access to screening and assessment and intervention, and treatment services.
This type of approach is particularly effective when adopting trauma-informed principles within the IBH framework, which is adaptable at the individual, family, and community levels.
Developed for professionals, this program explores how a trauma-informed integrated behavioral health care (IBHC) approach is beneficial for clients seeking services from behavioral health care providers. Practical tips, strategies, and solutions are shared throughout this program with the goal of improving screening, goal planning, and intervention practices. Empirically-based research findings and case study examples will be highlighted throughout this program.
