May is Mental Health Month

May is Mental Health Month, a good time to remind your patients of the important role that good mental health plays in overall wellness.

New Directions Behavioral Health, an independent company that administers behavioral health services for many of our Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan members, has compiled a wide array of educational materials, posters, stories and tips to help promote good mental health.

Topics include:

  • Mental health and substance use disorders
  • Warning signs of mental illness
  • What to say to someone struggling with mental health
  • Tips for improving mental health

We encourage you to check out our Engage page to learn more. Simply scroll down to the Mental Health Awareness section of the page.
