Effective Collaborative Care is a team of providers working together on a single treatment plan. Each member of the care team needs to understand their role and believe that they have the knowledge and skills necessary to fulfill that role. The entire team should complete the Care Team Training together to begin the process of thinking and working as a team and seeing how each role fits into the bigger picture. Ideally, this is a continuation of team building that was begun in Step 2.
