Education

Educational and certification opportunities build skills with higher-level learning designed for providers interested in ethical business practices and regulatory compliance, and informing prospective consumers of the dedication the provider exhibits toward honest business practices.

BHAP offers specialized higher-level education to help those in the industry thrive in an ever-changing business environment. We also offer highly specialized certificate programs (such as our Certificate in Addiction Treatment Marketing) so behavioral health providers can differentiate themselves as ethical and transparent providers.

Finally, we have an extensive list of other big events (conventions, symposiums, etc.) that are in the behavioral health and addiction treatment industry.

Advocacy

Advocacy efforts encourage industry involvement and self-regulation by informing providers of legislative activity that will promote state and federal rules and regulations that benefit providers and those dealing with behavioral health concerns.

BHAP knows that behavioral health is different than other healthcare. However, health insurance companies and regulatory bodies often lump behavioral health services in with other healthcare services. NBHAP is helping to distinguish behavioral healthcare by developing self-regulatory standards for the industry, lobbying lawmakers, and educating providers of the importance of self-regulation.
