What is a Behavioral Health Home?
A Behavioral Health Home is not a residential program or a place where you live. It is a team of healthcare professionals who work together to support your physical health, mental health and everyday needs.
Behavioral Health Home services are designed to make healthcare easier to navigate. Your team can help coordinate services across providers, organize appointments and medications and connect you with resources that may affect your ability to stay healthy.
This whole-person approach helps make sure the different parts of your care are working together.
How Behavioral Health Home Can Help
Depending on your individual needs, your Behavioral Health Home team may help with:
- Coordinating medical and behavioral health appointments
- Communicating across your healthcare providers
- Understanding and managing medications
- Connecting you with mental health and healthcare services
- Finding community, financial and other support resources
- Addressing barriers that make it harder to receive care
- Developing goals for your health and well-being
- Staying connected to care over time
Your needs may change. Your Behavioral Health Home team can continue working with you as your healthcare needs, goals and circumstances evolve.
