Expanding Behavioral Health Services in Arkansas: Evolve at the NASW Conference

Healthy Connections’ Evolve Behavioral Health is dedicated to delivering high-quality, integrated mental health care across Arkansas. As part of this commitment, Amy Kosters, LCSW, Director of Integrated Behavioral Health Services, attended the National Association of Social Workers (NASW)-Arkansas Conference this week in Little Rock. This event brought together licensed therapists, social workers, and behavioral health leaders to explore emerging trends, mental health policies, and innovative therapy techniques—all essential in shaping the future of behavioral health services.

Enhancing Behavioral Health Through Education and Collaboration

With Arkansas facing a growing demand for accessible mental health care, the NASW-Arkansas Conference provided a platform for professional development, networking, and knowledge-sharing. Key topics included:

  • Integrating behavioral health into primary care settings to improve whole-person treatment
  • Advancements in telehealth mental health services, expanding care to rural communities
  • Policy updates affecting Medicaid, licensure requirements, and ethical considerations in therapy
  • Evidence-based treatments for conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD, and substance use disorders

Staying at the forefront of these developments ensures that Evolve Behavioral Health continues to provide cutting-edge, patient-centered care. Through ongoing education and collaboration, Evolve remains committed to delivering comprehensive mental health services that improve outcomes for individuals and families.

Recruiting Top Behavioral Health Talent in Arkansas

Beyond professional development, the conference also served as a recruitment opportunity. Evolve Behavioral Health is actively hiring licensed therapists, counselors, and social workers to join its growing team. As an FQHC (Federally-Qualified Health Center), Healthy Connections offers competitive benefits, loan repayment options, and the chance to work in a mission-driven environment where mental health care is accessible to all.
