Help Wanted: Reshaping the Behavioral Health Workforce
The 31st Annual Rosalynn Carter Symposium on Mental Health Policy
The Affordable Care Act (2010) resulted in millions more people trying to access mental health and substance use services as one of the 10 essential health benefits included in all covered plans. This year’s Rosalynn Carter Symposium on Mental Health Policy will discuss several potential solutions to address the gaps in the behavioral health workforce that have resulted from this surge in demand, along with the field’s shift toward integrated care and population health. Key topics also will include innovations in medical school education and the rise of “whole health” and the “culture of health” movements in workforce development.
