The Importance of Addressing Behavioral Health Concerns in Primary Care

About this session

Behavioral Health includes mental health, substance use, and health behaviors (behaviors that impact health such as eating and physical activity). Integrating behavioral health into Primary Care is increasingly becoming the expectation rather than the exception. In this talk, you will learn the evidence that supports this as well as have the opportunity to have your questions answered by the speakers who have dedicated their careers to this field.

This session is brought to you in partnership with Professional and Corporate Programs at Rice University and the Mental Health America of Greater Houston.
