Northeast Ohio: Regional Meeting for Integrated Treatment

Registration is not required for this event.

OVERVIEW

The "Regional Meeting for Integrated Treatment" is a peer-networking opportunity. It is designed to encourage professionals from multiple disciplines, service settings, and systems of care to share challenges, solutions, and lessons learned while implementing evidence-based practices, best practices, emerging practices, and other service strategies for people with mental illness or co-occurring mental illness and substance use disorders.

Regional meetings are frequently attended by individuals from organizations who have different levels of experience with implementation. Therefore, the meetings help maximize efficiencies and outcomes, because participants help each other avoid mistakes that have already been made and replicate strategies that are getting results.

MEETING GOALS

Regional meetings are structured to achieve a number of goals:

  • Improve quality of life and other outcomes for people with mental illness or co-occurring mental illness and substance use disorders (e.g., addiction to alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs)
  • Foster interest in developing evidence-based practices, best practices, emerging practices, and other service strategies and innovations
  • Provide face-to-face contact and, thus, facilitate relationships among professionals from different disciplines and systems of care who might not otherwise interact
  • Create a network of stakeholders who can help identify and eliminate barriers to the implementation of successful services
  • Identify solutions and best practices for implementing service models and other innovations with fidelity

AGENDA

  • The agenda for each regional meeting is distributed prior to each meeting via email to past participants.
