Recording of Webinar

Description

Medical respite care (also known as recuperative care) is short-term, post-acute care for people experiencing homelessness who need a safe place to rest, recover, and heal. In addition to caring for acute medical issues, the medical respite care model focuses on addressing the whole person, including mental health and substance use disorders. This webinar will highlight different models of medical respite care and approaches to providing high-quality behavioral health services. Program representatives will discuss issues related to addressing stigma and training staff, and participants will learn more about the model’s whole-person care approach. This will be an interactive webinar that will allow ample time for questions, answers, and discussion.

This webinar is facilitated in partnership with the National Health Care for the Homeless Council and the National Institute for Medical Respite Care.
