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.

As we did last year, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan will be supporting Mental Health Month in various ways. For example, you can:

  • Check out mibluesperspectives.com and the Mind section of ahealthiermichigan.org for blogs about depression, anxiety and other mental health issues.
  • Follow Blue Cross on Facebook and Twitter for up-to-date mental health information.
  • Access the educational materials and posters in the Mental Health Awareness section of the Engage page. While developed primarily for our group customers, the page offers many useful resources suitable for sharing with your patients.

New toolkit for providers
We also partnered with New Directions, a company that provides behavioral health services for most Blue Cross members, to develop a Primary Care Provider Toolkit. You can learn all about it in the article, “Help connect your patients to behavioral health resources with PCP toolkit,” also in this issue.
