About the event
The Northwest MHTTC is excited to collaborate with the Mountain West AIDS Education & Training Center Program (AETC) on an educational series for behavioral health providers on addressing sexual health in behavioral health care. Our first session will provide an overview of the importance of integrating sexual health and behavioral health care. We will share research evidence of increased risk and poorer health outcomes among people living with mental illness, and the need for behavioral health providers to support clients to reduce risk. We'll also explore the discomfort some providers feel when discussing these topics. Session 1 will lay the foundation for the series--providing the “why” sexual health should be integrated into behavioral health care—and preview the “what” and the “how” of the subsequent sessions. This webinar will be 90 minutes long.
