Tackling Tough Clinical Conversations

Last updated on August 25th, 2024 at 11:17 am

Many healthcare providers report that addressing behavioral health and substance use issues are of the most challenging areas of their practice.  Providers are unsure how to address these issues and yet they are in a prime position to reduce the negative outcomes related behavioral health problems.  This is especially true in rural areas where agricultural workers are found to have higher rates of suicide, depression, and substance use.  This webinar will focus on how healthcare providers can start the conversations necessary to identify and treat behavioral health problems.

Objectives:

  1. Participants will be able to identify the barriers to having productive clinical conversations regarding behavioral health.
  2. Participants will be able to describe the Five Principles of Motivational Interviewing.
  3. Participants will apply motivational interviewing principles to a clinical case.
