Celebrations all around!
OAMHS Posts New Web-Based Training
The Office of Adult Mental Health Services has posted a recently-completed Web-Based Training entitled, "Providing Patient-Centered Mental Health Care in the Emergency Department." An April 1st memo from Chris Robinson and Leticia Huttman describes the training this way: "This Web-Based Training, which runs approximately 1 1/4 hours in length, was developed by OAMHS and based on input from mental health care consumers and providers. It discusses the challenges of providing mental health care in the ED, and suggests specific steps EDs can take to promote a more satisfying experience for patients and ED staff alike."
To view the training, go to OAMHS website at this link: http://maine.gov/dhhs/mh/mhed. There are opportunities on this site to download the training and access a variety of documents in the Attachments section that may serve as useful resources. Though not ready at this time, OAMHS expects to provide Certificates of Completion and to get approval for professional CEU credit.
