Hey there, BHCs...

You don't have to work alone.

We get it, being a BHC in primary care is isolating right now. Your schedule is jam-packed and your patients' needs are unyielding. No wonder so many BHCs are overwhelmed right now.


But what if... 


your job was sustainable? 

you were more energized?

and your peers were there to validate you?


That's where we come in.

Welcome to the Primary Care Behavioral Health Clinician (BHC) Community of Practice

What is the BHC Community of Practice?

We are a community of primary care BHCs learning and growing together in a "come-as-you-are" environment.


Join us for live virtual trainings, case studies, and small group discussions that empower and energize us as a collective.


Get up to 11 Continuing Education Credits for live & recorded sessions.

What makes The BHC Community of Practice special?

Besides our "come-as-you-are" policy that allows participants to join in whatever way works for them, such as on a walk or without their webcam on (*gasp!*), we are a peer-oriented learning group connecting isolated BHCs specifically so they can become empowered by their network with new skills. 


Our approach gives you permission to do less both through efficiency and creating a manageable workload, while still practicing ethically and maintaining healthy boundaries.


We help you reconcile the "model" of your role with the reality of daily demands so you can successfully navigate a clientele who are especially high-acuity while avoiding burnout.

What topics do we cover?

We address the most salient and relevant topics for you!  Monthly topics are sourced from BHC requests. We provide pragmatic training and tools to make your job more sustainable.

Thank you for speaking to this and offering some practical strategies for how to leverage our relationships for stepping up and down patients.
