| |
HRSA's Center of Excellence for Behavioral Health Technical Assistance invites BPHC-funded health centers to join two new Communities of Practice (CoPs). These CoPs will offer structured virtual learning sessions to engage health centers' teams in process improvement with other organizations and subject matter experts.
The Trauma-Informed Care CoP will help organizations increase their adoption of trauma-informed care practices, and the Alternative Pain Management CoP will help health centers improve care for patients with challenging pain cases and enhance their pain management practices. 30 organizations may participate in each CoP. Applications are due Friday, Feb. 7.
