We host a range of free webinars and learning collaboratives to help health organizations incorporate legal expertise and services into their approach to addressing health-related social needs, and to help legal organizations align their service delivery with health partners.
Upcoming Learning Collaborative:
I-HELP™ Bootcamp: Strengthening Your Ability to Spot and Manage Patients’ Complex Health-Harming Legal Issues – Application Deadline: October 15, 2024 at 6 PM ET
Weekly on Thursdays from October 17, 2024 through November 14, 2024 | 2-3.30 PM ET
Health care providers with Medical-Legal Partnerships (MLPs) understand that legal needs are often the root cause of health-related social needs. However, the ever-evolving legal landscape makes it increasingly difficult to identify and address patients’ complex legal issues in a timely manner. NCMLP’s new I-HELP™ Bootcamp is a 5-session learning collaborative designed for healthcare staff of all backgrounds—clinical and nonclinical—to strengthen their knowledge of the legal challenges faced by low-income patient populations.
Participants will enhance their capacity to spot legal needs that affect patient health, improve their ability to screen and refer patients to legal aid, and develop strategies to provide more precise guidance and quality referrals to legal partners. Through case studies and interactive discussions, healthcare teams will explore current legal issues across I-HELP™ categories: Income, Housing & utilities, Education & Employment, Legal status, and Personal & family stability. By the end of the collaborative, healthcare teams will optimize their approach to addressing legal needs in vulnerable populations, improving patient outcomes without needing a law degree. More details will be provided upon acceptance into the learning collaborative.
*This HRSA-funded learning collaborative is specifically designed for staff of Community Health Centers (FQHC or Look-Alike), Primary Care Associations, and Health Center Controlled Networks. If you feel like this might be a good opportunity for you, please fill out the application above. We will get back to you before October 15, 2024, with more details. In the meantime, reach out to ncmlp@gwu.edu for any questions or concerns.
