This workshop introduces the GATHER Reflection and Planning Tool and provides several case examples of its use with new Behavioral Health Consultants (BHCs). This tool helps new BHCs and those that train or supervise them to efficiently initiate new behaviors linking to each of the 6 elements in the GATHER description of the Primary Care Behavioral Health (PCBH) model. While brief, the tool (1) provides specific guidance for developing both visit and team related skills, (2) encourages self-reflection and a systematic approach to learning during the early months of starting a PCBH service, and (3) supports a good conversation between new BHCs and their mentors and/or supervisors. The optimal impact of integrated behavioral health services depends on the quality of training that new Behavioral Health Consultants (BHCs) receive in their first few months of practice. High quality training may support higher levels of job satisfaction and retention among new BHCs. This presentation will provide case examples of two BHCs participating in GATHER coaching over a 6-month period, one a new professional in a rural healthcare clinic and the other an experienced professional staring a BHC practice in an Indian Health Service clinic. Participants will view reflections from the new BHCs and then work with a learning partner to generate ideas for learning plans to help the BHCs get a strong start. Participants will also view GATHER element scores for each case over a 6-month period and consider ways to use them as indicators of progress. The GATHER Reflection and Planning Tool is a useful tool for mentors and new BHCs to use to assure a strong start.
