WEBINAR | Delivering Integrated Behavioral Health Using Virtual Care

Amanda May, LMSW, Manager, Behavioral Health Integration, and Marie Lee, MEd, PMP, Manager – Access Care Technology, Henry Ford Health. At present, more than 40% of adults in the United States will experience mental illness and only about 3 in 10 will seek treatment. Patients are faced with shortages of behavioral health professionals and long wait times. Other patients do not seek treatment due to the stigma attached to seeking care for mental health. Addressing patient mental health in a comprehensive, integrated manner in primary care, using evidence-based treatment has proven successful for patients seeking care for mild to moderate behavioral health symptoms. Amanda and Marie discuss program set up and success using virtual care which has allowed a small number of therapists and psychiatrists to serve a large geographic area across over 30 primary care offices.
