CE Course Description

In the current health care climate, behavioral health disparities continue to negatively affect black, indigenous, and other communities of color. As a result, there is an initiative, within the health care system, to address inequities related to behavioral health. With that in mind, this course reviews the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's (SAMHSA) National Network to Eliminate Disparities in Behavioral Health annual training (NNEDLearn) text to build awareness among health care professionals so they can effectively address the inequities found in behavioral health, as well as provide patients the care they require.

CE Course Objectives

1. Identify concepts related to NNEDLearn and the implementation of NNEDLearn programs. 
2. Examine NNEDLearn intervention case studies.
3. Evaluate the summary of strategies and lessons learned from NNEDLearn programs/practices.
4. Recall conclusions made about NNEDLearn.

Author: Since 2011 SAMHSA’s Office of Behavioral Health Equity (OBHE) has been working with its National Network to Eliminate Disparities in Behavioral Health annual training (NNEDLearn) that teaches teams of practitioners from community-based organizations that serve black, indigenous, and other communities of color in implementing culturally relevant evidence-supported behavioral health practices. To assess the impact of the training on the alumni, qualitative interviews were conducted with a sample of nine alumni and six trainers whose organizations participated in NNEDLearn during the period 2011-2020. The findings from the analysis are summarized in this report in a case study format.  This report is specific to NNEDLearn, from 2011 to 2020.
