This webinar is designed to guide home health professionals in providing whole-person care, ensuring that behavioral health is addressed along with any physical health issues. When clinicians have the confidence to support a patient’s behavioral health status, it better prepares them to meet the needs of the patient.

Objectives

• Learn how to build trust using the right verbiage.
• Learn how to have judgement free conversations.
• Identify if your patient is in crisis mode and learn how to deescalate the situation.
