Health & Human Services Integration

Cultivating Optimum Health - Mind, Body, and Spirit

Abstract: Mind, body, spirit. Health is so much more than absence of illness and most of what creates health occurs outside of the doctor’s office. This webinar will focus on comprehensive approaches that are moving beyond a medical model and focusing on the needs and well-being of communities and families to support the health of individuals. We will look at innovative financing that supports senior health not only through medical services but also social life, engagement in the community, and meeting needs of family members; new state waivers that are supporting integration of services, including mental health services; and, housing as a place for health.

Learning Objectives: Webinar participants will be able to:

Identify at least one non-medical factor in health and well-being
Identify at least one effective model for integration of health and human services
Identify at least one cultural proficiency principle in integrating services.

Presenters: Models for person-centered, comprehensive health and human services.
