This workshop will incorporate several digestible learning frameworks to help bring clarity and thriving amidst the chaos of primary care behavioral health. These learning frameworks will help leaders and clinicians alike unlock the benefits of this approach.
The presenters will describe how identifying a vision and delineating guiding principles helps give cohesion to a PCBH service. Additionally, they will discuss key mindset shifts that further help to unlock the power of primary care. In addition to a vision and mindset shifts, the presenters will explain digestible frameworks that can be implemented right away.
Primary care is a chaotic and demanding environment. There is never enough time, resources, staffing or funds. How can a service, especially a service that hasn’t always been historically included as part of the medical system, thrive in such an environment? That’s exactly the issue the presenters will take on in the presentation.
The presenters will introduce and break down a number of frameworks. These include delineating the original goals and vision of primary care as a whole as well as the core principles of PCBH. They will present a number of mindset shifts such as having single session or “one at a time” approach to care. Additional frameworks will include how to use functional contextualism, the contextual interview, and the ACCESS-V framework to help clinicians maximize their ability to help their patients.
It is important for clinicians to be well versed in health conditions, evidence-based practice, and theoretical orientations. It is also very important to learn patients’ context as well as use their expertise to collaborate and make pragmatic plans. The presenters will introduce an original diagram to help guide clinicians through this process.
Overall, this presentation is designed to help anyone in primary care behavioral health learn to use digestible pnemomics, frameworks and diagrams that provide clarity amongst the primary care chaos.
