D08 - “Oh Hey, You Also Work With My Parent/sibling/best Friend/coworker” - Navigating Multiple/Dual Relationships and Confidentiality Challenges in Rural PCBH
Description

Behavioral health clinicians working in smaller, rural integrated behavioral health centers will often find themselves in the challenging position of seeing multiple members of the same family, or seeing patients who are close friends or coworkers. This presentation will review recommendations for navigating ethical challenges within PCBH programs, highlighting differences between PCBH and traditional/specialty mental health approaches to ethics, as well as highlighting challenges unique to rural PCBH programs. The presenters will also share examples, lessons learned, and tips/tricks that they’ve learned practicing PCBH in a variety of different rural clinics serving several different types of patient populations.
