Interview: The Power of Collaboration Between Behavioral Health and Public Health
Overview
- We discuss with Dennis Koch from Madera County, California, how it is essential for behavioral health to work in conjunction with public health to improve overall mental well-being in our communities.
- The need for collaboration is even more essential in the face of COVID 19 and the associated emotional distress; civil and social unrest; and health disparities experienced by socially disadvantaged populations.
- You’ll learn how empowering communities with self-help prevention and intervention resources can alleviate mental health issues “upstream” before they escalate into co-morbid acute care episodes.
