Presenters
Summary
Relational Team Development (RELATED) is a novel intervention that increases adherence to evidence-based components of integrated behavioral health models while improving interdisciplinary collaboration and team dynamics. RELATED was developed through an iterative and interdisciplinary stakeholder engagement process. During this presentation, participants will learn about the methods by which myriad stakeholders repeatedly shaped RELATED; its core components and mechanisms of action; and pilot testing results from two safety net primary care clinics. RELATED holds tremendous promise for advancing the field of integrated behavioral health from good to great.
