Behavioral Health Action Network
A SIX-MONTH COHORT LEARNING OPPORTUNITY
Beginning May 2024, the Center of Excellence for Behavioral Health in Nursing Facilities (COE-NF) will host six monthly one-hour cohort sessions.
These sessions are FREE to attend! This series is intended to improve the behavioral health knowledge and skill set of all staff working in CMS-certified nursing facilities across the United States. Each session builds upon the information shared in previous sessions. This is a full series, and it is intended for participants to join every session in the six-month series.
TARGET AUDIENCES:
Facility Leadership, Social Workers, Nursing Staff, Non-Clinical Support Staff
Due to high demand, the current series that started in May 2024 is closed to new registrations. Our next series will start in early 2025.
Facilities can submit a request to be contacted once registration is open.
