AHA issues guide to expanding the behavioral health capabilities of the workforce
A new guide from the AHA Workforce Center offers strategies to help hospitals and health systems expand the behavioral health capabilities of their workforce. Building on an AHA white paper in June on how hospitals and health systems are bridging the gap between the need for behavioral health care in their communities and a shortage of trained specialists, the new guide offers tools and suggestions for overcoming common challenges organizations face in assessing, educating and partnering with others to strengthen their behavioral health workforce.
