Advancing Mental Health Care Delivery: Innovation, Integration, and Technology

Mental health needs in the US continue to grow, with 1 in 10 US adults reporting a mental health crisis in the past year. While many individuals seek mental health services, access to care remains a challenge due to various factors, including workforce shortages and other barriers to care, leaving many without timely, needed support. This webinar will explore current trends in mental health and the landscape of care delivery, as well as strategies to improve access and outcomes. This includes integrated and collaborative care models and ways to effectively leverage digital technology and virtual tools to strengthen mental health care delivery.
