May is Mental Health Month

May is Mental Health Month, a time to bring awareness to the importance of good mental health and to fight the stigma associated with mental health treatment.

At Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, we understand the role that mental health plays in overall health and wellness. That’s why we launched our Integrating Behavioral Health into General Medical Care initiative three years ago, as part of our Physician Group Incentive Program.

New Directions Behavioral Health, a Blue Cross vendor that administers behavioral health services, has provided a toolkit of resources to help promote Mental Health Month. The resources include posters, infographics and articles on subjects such as “Four ways to enjoy life more” and “Addressing substance abuse in the workplace.”

We encourage you to check out the “Mind” section of A Healthier Michigan at ahealthiermichigan.org/mind for blogs highlighting mental health issues and the mind-body connection. Also, you can follow Blue Cross on Facebook and Twitter for Mental Health Month information.
