Why Integrated Care Is Essential?

With mental and behavioral health conditions increasingly showing up in primary care settings, integrated care has become a critical model for providing whole-person treatment. Yet most providers receive limited training in this space. This course helps fill that gap—bridging disciplines, improving access, and strengthening outcomes across healthcare systems.

Mental Health Is a Primary Concern

Nearly 70% of primary care visits include a behavioral health component, yet many clinics aren't fully equipped to address them.

Gaps in Treatment Are Common

Only about 1 in 3 patients with depression receive adequate treatment when managed solely in primary care settings.

Improved Patient Outcomes

Studies show a 30% or greater improvement in anxiety and depression outcomes with collaborative care models in place.

Collaboration Reduces Burnout

Integrated teams experience better job satisfaction and lower burnout compared to siloed providers.

Patients Engage More Fully

When behavioral health is part of their medical home, patients are more likely to follow through with treatment plans.

Training Closes the Gap

Most providers receive limited education in integrated care—this course helps bridge that gap with role-specific, practical training.
