Description
The Behavioral Health in Primary Care (BHPC) series covers a wide variety of topics related to behavioral health across the lifespan through online educational courses and case studies.
Overview
People of all ages present in primary care practices with common behavioral issues such as depression, anxiety, and alcohol and drug disorders. Physical health problems, functional disability, and chronic pain can make people even more susceptible to developing any behavioral health conditions. The nursing workforce is a vital part of the primary care team. Nurses need the knowledge and skills to address behavioral health concerns and mitigate social determinants that serve as barriers to good health.
