HOW TO REMOVE ROADBLOCKS THAT OBSTRUCT PATIENT ACCESS TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH

The stresses that accompanied the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggered a dramatic increase in demand for behavioral health services. To make a difficult situation worse, widespread shutdowns and restrictions on medical appointments made it much harder to begin or continue behavioral therapy – no in-person groups, no in-office counseling, no face-to-face check-ins. Consumers consistently report that they cannot easily access behavioral health services.

  • 57% of those who either personally or had an immediate family member access mental health care during the pandemic said accessing care was difficult to find the right care for their needs.
