Description:<br />

services, and case management. The goal was to blend mental health and drug and alcohol service systems<br />

needs met by one provider with staff trained to support the person’s continued progress.<br />

Educational Objectives: Participants will be able to:<br />

• Identify beginning conditions and barriers in the county system’s ability to integrate services;<br />

• Describe implementation strategies for changing agency and staff practices;<br />

• Discuss current system capacity and future directions for providing integrated services.<br />
