This training provides behavioral and physical healthcare professionals with foundational knowledge of SPMI, including diagnostic criteria, symptom presentation, and the impact of co-occurring medical and substance use conditions. Participants will explore evidence-based treatment approaches, recovery-oriented strategies, and interdisciplinary care considerations to enhance clinical decision-making and support person-centered care.
