Co-Occurring Disorders and Integrated Health

Trainer: Kenneth Minkoff, MD. This presentation describes how to design systems and services based on the expectation that individuals and families will have co-occurring MH, SUD, health conditions, trauma, and other complex needs, so that all programs are “co-occurring programs” and all people providing services – including psychopharmacology practitioners – are “co-occurring helpers.” The presentation describes the six evidence-based principles of intervention for integrated service delivery and illustrates how any individual or team can begin to apply these principles and interventions in their own program in order to have more success – and more fun – working with the people with complex challenges who need our help the most.
