Participants can expect to learn how to:

• Articulate the different missions of – and common providers (disciplines) working within – primary-, secondary-, and tertiary- “levels” of health care.
• Describe the manners that clinical-, operational-, and financial- “worlds” of health care work collaboratively with – and sometimes against – each other.
• Learn empirically-supported ways that therapists can help couples navigate healthcare systems as they cope with complex and difficult clinical presentations.
• Understand theoretically-conceptualized strategies of interdisciplinary collaboration that can be advanced by therapists working across a wide range of care environments.

Clinicians who participate will be eligible for 2 Continuing Education Hours that have been approved by the following Minnesota Boards of Licensure:

• Psychology
• Social Work
