Every Step Towards Better C.A.R.E.: SBIRT, Perinatal Behavioral Health, and the C.A.R.E. Certification in Alabama
July 24 @ 11:00 am – 12:00 pm
Pregnant and postpartum individuals in Alabama face significant barriers to receiving the behavioral health support while maternal health providers do not always have access to best practice tools, training, and frameworks that can be adapted to their specific patient population needs. Every Step Towards Better C.A.R.E. explores these barriers to person-focused maternal behavioral health and available tools to address them.
Attendees will learn about Every Step’s new initiative for community organizations and individuals: the C.A.R.E. Certification, a framework rooted in Compassion, Accessibility, Recovery, and Excellence. L.B. Brown will guide participants through how the C.A.R.E. Certification is designed to equip community organizations and providers with the knowledge and commitment needed to deliver stigma-reducing, trauma-informed perinatal behavioral health care. Attendees will engage in discussion regarding VitAL’s accessible toolkits and platforms for universal substance use and behavioral health screening, intervention and treatment, leaving the session with the skills and supports they need to identify and address substance use, depression, and domestic violence among perinatal populations across Alabama. Whether you are new to universal behavioral health screening or looking for a structured pathway to enhance your practice, this webinar is for you!
One CE credit available for attendees.
