Home / News & Insights / Integrating Behavioral Healthcare into Our Daily Lives
What if we could be proactive about behavioral health rather than reactive?
We cannot control people or their behaviors, but we can educate. We spend most of our lives learning how to cope with scenarios we have no control over or how to control ourselves in situations we did not create. We watch the examples around us and emulate or choose to respond contrary based on the assumed outcomes. This presents an opportunity for us as a society.
What if we integrated behavioral health and mental health education into our daily lives, as children, as adults? What if we taught ourselves to better evaluate situations and respond in ways that are calmer with clearer heads?
As adjuncts to healthcare providers, we can advocate for improved outcomes through strategies, operational adjustments, and even facility design. Community outreach and embedding behavioral health providers in our everyday lives mean changing the way we think about behavioral healthcare. It’s no longer a service accessed after something happens but an education that we continue throughout life.
Normalizing the effort. Reducing the stigma. It’s not so weird when people realize they’re not alone in what they are going through. As healthcare providers, we have a multitude of resources to bring behavioral health education out of the shadows:
What if it was normal to talk about what is bothering you? What if we grew up with a better understanding of our own thoughts and emotions?
We can continue to build acute behavioral health beds and our providers will continue to fill them. The sheer demand is readily present. However, how many of these inpatient cases could we have eliminated or reduced the length of stay prior to needing hospitalization by further investing in educating people beyond our medical doors? We can integrate into hiring processes to educate new recruits in the community or provide clinical oversight for our school systems with a group of deployed counselors located inside the schools for teaching students in a classroom format as well as one-on-one counseling services.
In the future, we may not have to build as many inpatient beds if we are leveraging the many possibilities of alternative sites of care. We can reduce utilization rates by reaching outside of our everyday box.
