Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Use Disorders Series

Behavioral Healthcare Education provides research-based, state-of-the-art, clinical continuing education for interdisciplinary practitioners across Pennsylvania. Among its many areas of concentration and expertise, BHE was one of the original architects of the state curricula for co-occurring disorders. The 11-course series, initially developed in 1999, has been updated and offered annually throughout the Commonwealth by BHE faculty members who provide expert consultation, skills-teaching and supervision to clinicians desiring to update/improve their skills.

BHE is now offering the 11-course COD series via private contracts to agencies who wish to increase their practitioners' ability to serve their community and have specific concerns related to their location and population. The series includes:

• TR400 An Overview of DSM-5 Psychiatric and Substance Use Disorders in Adults

Trauma-Informed Courses

Rooted in the understanding that trauma is the fundamental issue for many people seeking mental health and other public health services, trauma-informed care is recognized as essential to the delivery of services that promote recovery and resilience. Behavioral Healthcare Education offers training to assist practitioners in engaging people with histories of trauma and understanding the role that trauma has played in their lives. This series provides an array of courses that support the development of trauma-informed care, assessment, and treatment planning for children, adolescents and adults. The goal is to assist providers in integrating trauma-informed and trauma-specific treatment practices into all aspects of behavioral health and related services they provide.

This series is only being offered in one location, at the Holiday Inn Harrisburg-Hershey, Grantville, Pennsylvania.

We are offering a certificate of completion for those who complete a total of 50 hours of training: 10 hours for two core courses and 40 hours for eight elective courses. The core courses have recently changed; please refer to our catalog [PDF] for up-to-date information.

Once the core courses are taken, they do not need to be taken again.

Please call 877.243.3033 (toll free) to obtain information about the trauma certificate series.
