Effective Navigation of the Behavioral Health System with Clients and their Family Systems
With rising rates of addiction and mental health issues, both pre-COVID and post, healthcare advocates will likely encounter challenges such as coverage, discrimination, ethical issues and resources to meet the varied demands of their clients.
In order to effectively address clients’ these challenges and meet the holistic health needs, it is important for healthcare advocates to understand how to identify behavioral health issues, create effective long-term care plans and address family dynamics.

- Identification of behavioral health issues
- Considerations for evaluating quality and ethical standards of behavioral health providers
- Strategies to address individual client and family resistance
