NYAPRS Note: SAMHSA’s Recovery to Practice initiative, which is operated by Advocates for Human Potential, is hosting a 3 part series on shared decision making, a very timely topic in a time where Medicaid reforms and the ACA are encouraging beneficiaries to know what they want and how to advocate for that.

One of the webinar’s presenters, AHP’s Melody Riefer will be offering a presentation entitled “Moving Recovery To Practice: Integrating Behavioral Health And Primary Care to Promote Wellness” at NYAPRS Annual Conference to be held September 14-16 at the Hudson Valley Resort.

Recovery To Practice- Summer Webinar Series


Shared Decision Making:

What is it and how do we do it?

Shared decision making occurs when people using services and their practitioners make healthcare decisions together, taking into account the best available scientific evidence and the person’s or family’s values, preferences, and personal goals. With increasingly integrated, multidisciplinary healthcare service models, shared decision making can help keep the individual and the family at the center—where they belong. Shared decision making is recovery-oriented practice.

However, while shared decision making sounds simple, practitioners and people using services often find it challenging to truly implement. This webinar series will introduce participants to the practice of shared decision making in behavioral health care and explore practical applications in a range of recovery-oriented practice settings and situations.
