The field of behavioral health is always evolving, and our teams are constantly looking for opportunities to sharpen skills and learn new things.
We regularly gather a variety of webinars, training opportunities, and resources on what’s happening in the field and these lists are just too good to keep to ourselves.
Below is a curated list of information from our Behavioral Health team, working across 11 states and the District of Columbia, to improve access to behavioral health and facilitate appropriate opioid use.
