Presented by Dr. Stephanie Hooker and Dr. Michelle Sherman from the University of Minnesota’s Department of Family Medicine and Community Health. This webinar showcases the Change that Matters: Promoting Healthy Behaviors online curriculum. 

This report was developed to enable behavioral health clinics (mental health and substance use) to plan and implement integration to improve patient outcomes. We use the term “general health” to encompass the types of care usually provided by primary care or general medical practitioners and have designed this framework as a roadmap for clinics with a diverse range of resources.

Change that Matters: Promoting Healthy Behaviors is a 10-module curriculum of brief, evidence-based behavior change strategies for providers to implement with patients in primary care and behavioral health settings. 

The Primary Care Collaborative is carrying out its mission to unify and engage diverse stakeholders in promoting policies and sharing best practices that support the growth of high-performing primary care as clinicians address the unprecedented challenges of COVID-19.
