VISN 4 MIRECC Clinical
The Goal of Our Clinical Activities
Ultimately, the MIRECC exists to improve clinical care for Veterans. The MIRECC seeks to do this directly by offering clinical consultation and training to practitioners throughout VISN 4 and by sponsoring clinical and/or educational demonstration projects. The MIRECC also improves clinical care indirectly by developing best practice models developed through the study and implementation of measurement-based mental health care. This theme is reflected in several ongoing clinical efforts, including:
The Behavioral Health Laboratory (BHL)
The Behavioral Health Laboratory (BHL), currently located both at the Philadelphia VAMC and VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System, provides assessment and referral for depression and substance use disorders for veterans who screen positive for these disorders during primary care visits. See this link for more information.
Peer Resource Center
The VISN 4 MIRECC Peer Resource Center (412-360-2852) at VA Pittsburgh Health Care System is a Center dedicated to providing consulting services, training, evaluation and monitoring, and advocacy. Led by Matthew Chinman, Ph.D., a nationally recognized peer services researcher, the Center offers consulting services to programs or departments hoping to initiate, expand or improve peer support services. We coordinate training and education opportunities with local and national experts who are experienced in this field. Click here to learn more about the Peer Resource Center.
