How to get behavioral/mental health providers to authentically appreciate the effect of ACES on physical health and their role in communicating with physical health clinicians?

In Santa Clara County ACES Aware work, we are beginning to see awareness in the behavioral health community that we need them to be part of the team and how to be a team player to improve care of patients...At the third Peer-to-Peer Engagement session # 3, I was listening to some non-profit and county behavioral health folks and I finally realized that they do not see the connection between trauma and both physical health and mental health. They see the impact of trauma on behavioral/mental health. But have almost no authentic appreciation or investment in the effect on physical health. This may be why we seem to be stuck in creating communicating teams that care for our community. (As we get past EMR and HIPPA issues)

I do not know how to get behavioral health to understand and invest in these connections between mental and physical health providers. The mind and body are truly connected.
