Mental Health Help for Behavioral Health and Medical Health Care Workers
BHA/MedChi Behavioral Health Webinar Series: Helping the Helpers and Those They Serve
The Maryland Department of Health (MDH) Behavioral Health Administration (BHA) and MedChi jointly sponsor a webinar series, the BHA/MedChi Behavioral Health Webinar Series: Helping the Helpers and Those They Serve.
These webinars are for Maryland’s behavioral health and medical health care workers of all disciplines, whether working in community or hospital settings. They are designed to enhance both health care workers’ self-care and the care they provide, by giving strategies to combat numerous stressors including the COVID-19 pandemic, social justice issues, and other pressures that can potentially impact delivered care.
For questions, or if you are interested in delivering a presentation, being a moderator, or have self-care topics/presenters to suggest, contact Steve Whitefield at [email protected].
Webinars are open for registration. All webinars are from 5-6 p.m. Registration for future webinars, which are also on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month, will be posted on the BHA/MedChi webinar webpage, where webinar recordings and slides are also archived.
