NAMI Montana Conference Speakers Feature: Understanding Specific Types of Psychiatry and How To Access Them in Montana

There are so many difficult things to understand about the mental health treatment system: clinical roles, insurance reimbursements, variation in treatment response, and more.

 After sixteen years of doing this, many of my questions involve the role of child psychiatrists or the role of a psychiatrist in treating co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders. 

 It doesn't help that they are both really hotly debated issues.

 We are bringing Dr. Heather Zaluski and Dr. Bob Sise to the NAMI Montana Conference to discuss these issues in detail. Both of them are seasoned Montana psychiatrists. They are also both building really interesting telehealth practices capable of reaching around our great state.

 

Dr. Heather Zaluski MD - Big River Psychology

The Role of Child Psychiatrists Through the Lens of First Episode Psychosis

Dr. Zaluski will explain the critical role of child psychiatrists in the mental health treatment system through the lens of first-episode psychosis. Dr. Zaluski will also describe how the system needs to be designed to address the scarcity of this critical resource.

 

Dr. Bob Sise MD, MPH, MBA - 406 Recovery

The Path To Delivering Comprehensive SUD and Mental Health Treatment Where It's Most Needed

Dr. Sise emphasizes meeting patients where they are at in their willingness to change. Prior to co-founding 406 Recovery, he co-founded and served as chief medical officer of the greater-Montana region’s largest psychiatric practice to ensure more Montanans have access to quality psychiatric treatment services and crisis care.
