The center aims to provide a professional home for licensed and license-eligible, non-physician behavioral health providers treating patients at VUMC, according to a March 28 news release from the medical center.
The center will first focus on licensed mental health professionals already providing adult behavioral health services through VUMC. The development of the center will be used to increase behavioral health integration across VUMC with a variety of mental health professionals, the release said.
The center will also aim to provide resources such as support, community, education and other tools for success to VUMC’s psychiatrists, psychologists, psychiatric advanced practice nurses, and licensed mental health professionals such as social workers and professional counselors.
At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place November 4–5 in Chicago, behavioral health leaders and executives will explore strategies for expanding access to care, integrating services, addressing workforce challenges and leveraging innovation to improve outcomes across the behavioral health continuum.
