After this session, participants will be able to: Describe the core components of CoCM and how they support integrated behavioral health and primary care in SBHCs. Identify implementation strategies from Carolina-based case studies that support the successful adoption of integrated care. Recognize common challenges to CoCM implementation in school-based settings and strategies to address them.
