THE HARRIS CENTER FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND IDD
seeing that impact across our communities – individuals who may not have previously had a mental health concern , but are being impacted by the environment we ' re in . I think we ' re all impacted by it to some degree , it just depends how connected we are to support in our communities and how effective that support is in helping us manage this really challenging time .”
In the next few years , one of their strategic priorities is to deliver " care anywhere ". " It won ' t be long before most people want to receive care , particularly behavioral health care , delivered through their cell phone , and we need to respond to that demand .
There is a reason that behavioral healthcare has more no shows than other types of healthcare . People often disengage from treatment and one factor is about convenience and responsiveness . We ' ve got to turn this on its head and be responsive . We ' ve now proven we can be agile and we can get really creative about it – my vision is for us to provide care in a variety of different formats and locations to meet people ' s needs in the way they want us to . Technology and digital health will support that vision ." healthcareglobal . com 125
