Self-Management Goal-Setting Tools in Integrated Behavioral Health
Tuesday 8/3/2021 9:00 AM - 10:30 AM CST
This lecture and discussion-based presentation will share the quality improvement project of the self-management goal-setting procedures at a local integrated behavioral health primary care clinic. The project background, methods, results, and practice implications will be explored. To implement knowledge translation, the final Self-Management Goal-Setting Tools created for the clinic will be illustrated for future dissemination at further sites to advance evidence-based practice, quality care, and integrated behavioral health. Persons with any knowledge/interest in mental health or lived experience as well as administrators may attend.
