Novel Approaches to Behavioral Health Innovation is a lecture series offered through Vail Health Behavioral Health Innovation Center and
University of Wisconsin-Madison. The series featured innovative leaders in behavioral health treatment and research.
As the rate of mental illness—especially depression, anxiety, and substance abuse—continues to climb in the United States, the mental health field of medicine is in dire need of new perspectives and treatments. The Novel Approaches to Behavioral Health Innovation Lecture Series seeks to address this mental health crisis head-on by providing fresh, scientifically-supported perspectives on mental illness and a framework for understanding a range of new evidence-based treatments.
In support of improving patient care, the Novel Approaches to Behavioral Health Innovation Lecture Series has been planned and implemented by the University of Wisconsin–Madison ICEP and Vail Health. The University of Wisconsin–Madison ICEP is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
The 12-month virtual series has ended and past lectures are available below for your enjoyment.
Next up, the Vail Health Behavioral Health Innovation Center will continue to collaborate with the University of Wisconsin-Madison to host in-person lectures in the future by invitation, and recordings of those lectures will be posted below and under "Past Lectures."
