Whole Person Care

People with mental health and substance use disorders may die decades earlier than the average person, often because of untreated and preventable chronic illnesses such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. These conditions can be aggravated by inadequate physical activity, poor nutrition, smoking, and substance use. Barriers to primary care and difficulties navigating complex healthcare systems can also prevent people from receiving appropriate care.

Primary care settings have become an important gateway to behavioral healthcare. Primary care providers need support and resources to screen and treat people with behavioral health and general healthcare needs.

Integrated care systematically coordinates general and behavioral healthcare. Bringing mental health, substance use, and primary care services together can improve outcomes for people with multiple healthcare needs.
