Description

Join Regis University health professions leaders, public policy representatives, and community stakeholders for a conversation surrounding the challenges and opportunities of mental health care in Colorado. Be the first to hear how Regis is expanding its health professions programs to better meet the evolving health care needs of Colorado’s diverse and vulnerable populations. Tour the new nursing skills lab and the Center for Counseling and Family Therapy at the Regis Thornton Campus. As a Jesuit institution, Regis University believes in caring for the whole person and preparing students to work from an integrated behavioral health perspective. Healthcare professionals will be able to provide care for an individual’s mental health needs which includes mind, body, and spirit. Our vision for the Center of Excellence in Health and Wellbeing is to train the future workforce by adding physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech and language pathology, and applied behavior analysis to the clinical services available to the community. We recognize our communities’ health needs require treating the whole individual and not just a part of them. More about Regis University’s Rueckert-Hartman College for Health Professions (RHCHP): RHCHP promotes caring for the whole person, training future providers with interprofessional education including counseling and family therapy, play therapy, psych-mental health nurse practitioners, and psychiatric pharmacy. We look forward to seeing you, Dr. Karen Riley, Provost, Regis University Dr. Linda Osterlund, Academic Dean Rueckert-Hartman College for Professions
