With its clinical excellence and operational efficiency, Concert Health is the preferred partner for health systems and medical groups seeking to deliver integrated behavioral health care that is both scalable and sustainable.

  • Comfort incorporating evidence-based treatment frameworks and approaches (e.g., Problem-Solving Treatment, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Skills, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy Skills, Behavioral Activation) into treatment planning
  • Experience using Measurement Based Care tools (e.g. PHQ-9, GAD-7)  to track populations and guide care decisions
  • Enjoy providing coaching on, and learning about, evidence-based interventions to support the professional development of primary care providers and Behavioral Health Care Manager

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
