Today, the driving philosophy in behavioral health services - and in the Medicaid reforms underway - is recovery. Outpatient mental health treatment programs are integral providers in this model. This free one day course will teach about recovery-oriented practice in mental health care, and how to integrate this approach into clinical work.
