Behavioral Health and Primary Care Integration: An NJ Spotlight Discussion Series

NJ SPOTLIGHT, a subsidiary of The Community Foundation of New Jersey, is an on-line news service that reports on New Jersey policies, legislation, and issues that have a high impact on local communities.

This project supports a series of webinars on the integration of behavioral health services (services for mental health and substance abuse conditions) within primary care. The first webinar, held March 18, 2015, explored the impact of behavioral health conditions on avoidable hospital use. It also described a Nicholson-funded project, which is integrating behavioral health into primary care services at the Henry J. Austin Health Center, a Federally Qualified Health Center in Trenton.
