We are in this Together: Helping Couples Navigate Healthcare Systems and Cope with Complex Clinical Presentations - with Dr. Tai Mendenhall

Good couple’s therapy is more than straightforward efforts to improve communication skills, manage finances better, or reclaim a “spark” after years of childrearing. When devastating health diagnoses, complex mental illnesses, and/or addiction impact couples, therapists are well-positioned to offer support that extends beyond the walls of their private practices.Lorenz Clinic is excited to host Tai Mendenhall, Ph.D., LMFT, to discuss this topic during August&#x27;s Grand Rounds professional development event. In this presentation, baseline “levels” (primary, secondary, tertiary) and theoretically-conceptualized “worlds” (clinical, operational, financial) of healthcare will be described. This will be presented alongside the empirically-supported manners in which clinicians can help couples navigate their journey through these healthcare systems.Learning Objectives:<ul><li>Articulate the missions of different levels of health care.</li><li>Describe how the clinical, operational, and financial worlds of health care work collaboratively with – and sometimes against – each other.</li><li>Learn empirically-supported ways that clinicians can help couples navigate healthcare systems as they cope with complex and difficult clinical presentations.</li><li>Understand strategies of interdisciplinary collaboration that can be used by therapists working across a wide range of care environments.</li></ul><h3>About the Presenter </h3>Dr. Mendenhall is an accomplished Medical Family Therapist within the fields of collaborative family healthcare and community-based participatory research (CBPR) with a public health focus.
