The training team from the Association for Utah Community Health (AUCH) guided participants through comprehensive strategies, including data measurement, clinical pathways toward depression remission, and the integration of behavioral health to achieve optimal outcomes in depression management and remission.
This training session was designed for clinical professionals from all backgrounds, emphasizing our unified mission to manage and achieve remission in depression effectively.
