Person Centered Care for Behavioral Health: Are We There Yet?
Person-centered care is becoming a mantra and a mandate for Minnesota’s mental health and substance abuse providers. While an important philosophical paradigm shift, it can be difficult and confusing to put person-centered care into practice. This webinar helps practitioners begin to bridge the gap between person-centered principles and practice by introducing key person-centered concepts and application tools.
Participants will be able to:
- Distinguish between person-centered care and traditional treatment approaches for
mental health - Identify the core principles of person-centered care
- Understand several key skills, tools, and strategies needed for person-centered
care treatment planning - Discuss misperceptions that impede the adoption and application of person-
centered care for mental health
