Innovative Care Models in Community Health Centers

Individuals with poor mental health often rely on primary care providers for their mental health treatment. While the integration of primary and behavioral health services would seem the obvious solution, there are many roadblocks. Policy changes and a cultural paradigm shift that embraces integrated care are needed to begin to provide quality, coordinated care for co-occurring mental and physical health problems. Learn more about these issues from our webcast of the recent Altarum Policy Roundtable "Integrating Primary and Behavioral Health Services: A Community Health Center Paradigm." This discussion addressed some of the policy issues that must be resolved to effectively integrate primary and behavioral health care, exploring the many challenges—and solutions—to implementing this model of care at the local, state, and national level.
