Recent changes in the public policy landscape have led to advances in addressing substance use and behavioral health disorders as key aspects of the health and public health continuum. Approaches to integrate substance use services into health care systems are starting to break down silos in care and leading to innovations across systems. The shift to addressing substance use primarily as a health care issue has important implications for other intersectional issues, including efforts occurring across the country to increase comprehensive and equitable care models for the people experiencing homelessness.
Join this webinar to hear about several effective solutions for providing care for individuals experiencing homelessness as part of a holistic and equitable health care approach. Experts will discuss opportunities stemming from recent changes in substance use policy and practice to develop innovative care models that fill key gaps in care and the rationale for investing in these models, including housing and peer-based approaches.
The webinar will focus on the urgency of addressing equity issues around providing substance use behavioral health services in communities of color where services are scarce and innovation is most needed.
Learning Objectives:
- Explain the shifting policy and practice landscape related to addressing substance use as a health and equity issue and the opportunities it creates to integrate substance use and behavioral health care into health and housing services
- Identify gaps in care for the people experiencing homelessness with substance use and behavioral health care needs
- Provide innovative examples of how systems work together to address gaps and generate learning to improve care.
