CCP Virtual Workshop 5: Addressing Mental Health In Care

Join us for the fifth workshop series in the Conscientious Clinician Program (CCP)- CCP Virtual Workshop 5: Addressing Mental Health in Care

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines mental health as “not just the absence of mental disorder” but “as a state of well-being in which every individual realizes his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community.” If public health is to meet the challenge of protecting and promoting the public's health, mental health must be incorporated into prevention, treatment, and care.

In this session, participants will explore why it is imperative to address mental health as part of a comprehensive approach to health care and strategies to engage patients in prioritizing their own care.

Presenter: Patrice Douglas, PhD, PSYD
