Mental Health Solutions: Improving Care
From NIHCM Foundation
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of mental health but it is still difficult for many to get the care they need. Many people reported poor mental health after experiencing stress and worry around the pandemic. However, one-third of adults in the U.S. went without mental health services or medication when they thought they might need them. Barriers to accessing mental health care, such as social stigma, scarcity of services, and affordability, make it difficult to receive treatment.
In this webinar, we will hear from mental health leaders who are working to improve access to mental health care. Speakers will discuss:
- Guidance to individuals and families on navigating mental health, including diagnosis, treatment, and recovery
- Community and peer support for mental health and the work to transform care to be culturally responsive care and focused on social inclusion
- Providing high value and appropriate support such as integrating behavioral health into primary care
