Behavioral Health Home
Integrated care management services for adults
Our Behavioral Health Home (BHH) program is an innovative, community-based service that coordinates your medical and behavioral health care with your other wellness needs. This integrated approach empowers you to increase independence and self-management, while providing resource support, community connections, and assistance with goal setting.
The “Home” in Behavioral Health Home means having one place to coordinate all of your care. You become part of a dedicated team focused on your health and well-being, and all services are provided in your home or in the community.
Is BHH Right for You?
BHH may be a good fit if any of the following feel familiar:
- You feel like you spend too much time in the emergency room because it is the only way to get your needs met.
- You feel like your providers don’t talk to each other, leading to fragmented or inconsistent care.
- You want to keep your current therapist and/or doctor while accessing additional support.
- You want to have access to Peer Support and speak to someone who has been where you are.
- Traditional Community Integration or Other Case Management programs were not right for you.
- You have complex medical and psychiatric needs that could benefit from a team approach.
