The ​Primary ​Care ​Behavioral ​Health ​Conference (sponsored by the University of Vermont) ​aims ​to ​enhance ​clinicians’ ​capacity ​to ​treat ​some ​of ​the ​most ​challenging ​clinical ​cases ​presenting ​to ​primary ​care. ​The ​conference ​brings ​together ​respected ​clinical ​and ​policy ​leaders ​in Vermont from ​different ​specialties ​of ​the ​integrated ​care ​medical ​home ​to ​detail ​novel ​approaches ​to ​whole-person ​care. ​Using ​a ​case-based ​approach ​to ​guide ​lectures ​and ​panel ​discussion, ​this ​conference ​will ​impact ​participants’ ​understanding ​and ​confidence ​in ​caring ​for ​our ​most ​vulnerable ​and ​high-utilizing ​patients ​across ​the ​lifespan: ​New ​American, ​transgender ​and ​gender ​questioning, ​food ​and ​housing ​insecurity, ​and ​substance ​use ​disorders.

The ​day ​prior ​to ​the ​conference, ​ ​a ​full -day ​training ​will be offered in ​Motivational ​Interviewing ​with ​Stephen ​Andrew, ​LCSW, ​Chief ​Energizing ​Officer ​of ​the ​Health ​Education ​& ​Training ​Institute ​in ​Portland, ​Maine. ​This ​is ​an ​outstanding ​opportunity ​to ​train ​in ​basic ​MI ​skills ​with ​a ​leader ​in ​the ​field. ​Enrollment ​for ​this ​pre-conference ​workshop ​is ​limited.

There ​will ​be ​separate ​registration ​fees ​for ​the ​two ​programs, ​with ​a ​discount ​to ​participants ​participating ​in ​both ​days.
