The Better Care Playbook is hosting an upcoming webinar titled "Adopting Trauma-Informed Care in Rural Areas: Lessons from a Community Behavioral Health Partnership in Pennsylvania." This webinar will offer insights into both the challenges faced and successful strategies employed when implementing trauma-informed care in rural communities, focusing on a decade-long collaboration between Behavioral Health Alliance of Rural Pennsylvania (BHARP), a group of county-based behavioral health and human service administrators, and UPMC’s Community Care Behavioral Health Organization, a nonprofit behavioral health Medicaid managed care organization. Participants will gain perspectives from presenters experienced in implementing trauma-informed care across a network of behavioral health and human service providers in rural communities, offering insights for providers, plans, and policymakers seeking to create broader access to trauma-informed care in similar rural contexts.
