The need for education in the area of Behavioral Health integrating into Primary Care is substantial. Behavioral Health integration is not a new topic or goal; however, it is still a decision many organizations struggle with, even when there is agreement to undertake the endeavor. The need for a seamless system is clear; however, many have lacked the roadmap to follow to achieve the goal. This presentation will provide both technical assistance as well as data to assist others in developing an integrated Behavioral Health system within Primary Care. (UAN 0850-9999-17-040-L04-P)
