About Behavioral Health Home
A Behavioral Health Home (BHH) is a healthcare service delivery model focused on combining primary care, mental health services, as well as social services and supports for adults and children diagnosed with mental illness.
The BHH will function as the central point of contact for directing individual-centered care across the broader health care system. An individual will have a comprehensive treatment team including but not limited to a behavioral health specialist, nurse case manager, peer support specialist/community health worker, medical consultant, and psychiatric consultant.
Let your case manager know if you are interested!
