UMB Presents: This session is great for behavioral health professionals who are not trained clinicians, translating clinical jargon into real-usable language for better engagement with consumers. It will focus on what diagnosis means, reviewing the most frequent behavioral health diagnoses, and using observations of signs and symptoms to advocate with consumers. Please note – by popular request this topic runs longer to accommodate review of more examples and diagnoses.
Agenda:
Introductions and Welcome
What a diagnosis means… and what it is not
A review of the most frequent behavioral health diagnoses and what the diagnosable symptoms might look like in consumers’ lives
Using your observations of signs and symptoms to advocate with consumers for their preferences and rights with their clinical team members
Closing Matters
