About Our BHH Program
The “Home” in Behavioral Health Home refers to having just one place to coordinate all of your medical and mental health care. You are part of a team dedicated to your health and well-being, and all services are provided in your home or community.
In addition to support from our BHH team, you will also have the option to participate in a variety of educational group sessions and peer support groups. These groups are related to specific medical conditions, skill development and personal care management, peer-advocacy and support, and other wellness and mental health topics.
Through the Behavioral Health Home program you will have access to a team of health professionals, available to speak with you “live.” They include:
- Wellness Coordinator: Your wellness coordinator manages the coordination of all your medical and mental health services and helps you identify the right resources to support your goals for treatment.
- Peer/Family Support Specialist: You may choose to confidentially talk to and connect with a support specialist who has been through similar life experiences and understands what you are going through.
- Nurse Care Manager: This team member coordinates communication with your primary (PCP) and specialty medical care providers, monitors health outcomes, and provides information and support on managing illness and preventing hospitalization.
- Supervisory Team: Your Supervisory Team is made up of a clinical supervisor, PCP consultant and psychiatric consultant. They review your case on an ongoing basis to ensure the highest quality care.
