New Mental Health Resources From AHRQ
During Mental Health Awareness Month, AHRQ’s Academy for Integrating Behavioral Health and Primary Care is highlighting Integrating Harm Reduction into Primary Care Practices, a resource that emphasizes the importance of helping patients reduce or prevent the harms of substance use.
Harm reduction principles and practices prioritize engaging directly with patients with substance use disorders to prevent overdoses and infectious disease, improve physical and mental health and offer appropriate mental health disorder treatment. The Academy is also highlighting Mental Health Awareness Month Resources, which highlight resources from leading mental health agencies and organizations.
