NPHTI, the premier Pediatric Hypnosis Training organization globally, announces its 12th gathering. Approximately half the workshop is devoted to practicing skills in a collegial small group with like-minded professionals and supportive faculty mentor-facilitators (typically a 6:1 ratio). Since 2010 NPHTI has trained over 1100 licensed pediatric clinical professionals, including mental healthcare providers, physicians, nurse practitioners, dentists, occupational and physical therapists, speech and language pathologists, and child life specialists.

Abstract:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has announced a new national action framework to advance medical-dental integration (MDI) in the US. We know that good oral health is essential to promote overall health, yet medical and dental care continue to operate in silos. This framework will pave the way for providers to improve MDI across health care and public health settings and support whole-person integrated care. 

Centering community engagement can meaningfully influence and impact the health and well-being of people. It can advance health equity and transform systems for health (e.g., health care policies and programs, housing, transportation) by ensuring that people closest to the problems are actively involved in driving needed changes and solutions.
