Workforce & Health Care Policies to Support Children’s Mental Health

Wednesday, April 17, 9:00am PT / 12:00pm ET

Hosted by ChangeLab Solutions

In this one-hour webinar, we’ll discuss how decision makers can strengthen policies that support behavioral and mental health among youth. The session will consider the challenges that master’s-level providers experience in entering and remaining in the behavioral health field, as well as policy levers that can be used to support and expand the behavioral health workforce — for example, provider credentialing processes, licensing boards, license portability processes, workforce expansion incentives, network adequacy requirements, and postgraduate training. The speakers will also offer insight into health care models, such as value-based care, that can effectively integrate behavioral health in health care settings.
