Behavioral Health

Overview

There is a crisis level of need for mental and behavioral health care in the U.S. NACHC is committed to helping health centers expand to provide a broad range of services that address mental health, Substance Use Disorder, and other behavioral health issues. Since 2010, health center patient visits for behavioral health services, including mental health and substance use disorder services, outpaced the growth of every other type of visit. Now, telehealth for behavioral health is a common service at health centers, and NACHC is providing resources to help health centers fully integrate primary and behavioral health for seamless and coordinated care.
