Integrated Care in Action: A Model for Mental Health and Addiction Treatment
30 July @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm
At this webinar, the panel will aim to explore how an integrated interdisciplinary response will support better outcomes for Alcohol and other Drug presentations in the context of co-occurring and/or co-existing physical health, mental health, housing, forensic, interpersonal, vocational, and/or psychosocial challenges. The panel will also offer tips and strategies that may mitigate the hurdles and maximise the enablers to integrated interdisciplinary care.
This webinar is presented by Hamilton Centre and MHPN
