Integrative behavioral health is a type of whole-person care, focusing on the interconnections between the body, mind, and physical actions. As such, integrated behavioral health can include a diverse variety of topics including mental health, life stressors and crises, nutrition, sleep, stress-related physical symptoms, and substance use. Because clients with mental health problems often suffer from co-occurring physical health issues, providing services through an integrated behavioral health lens may result in improved outcomes.

Persons involved in the criminal justice system commonly experience a host of behavioral health and physical health issues. As such, an integrated behavioral health approach to care is desperately needed.

This program is designed for professionals interested in learning about the causes and consequences associated with behavioral health and physical health issues among criminal justice-involved populations. Implications for interviewing, screening, and intervention are explored through an integrated behavioral health lens. Empirically based research findings are highlighted throughout this program.
