S2E24: Hi-Tech and Hi-Touch Behavioral Health with Mimi Winsberg, MD, CEO at Brightside Health and host Dr. Nick.

Behavioral health in our society and the challenges that so many are facing with anxiety, depression, and suicide can now call 988. This shortcode number has only relatively recently been set up but it makes access to help and remembering easy. For anyone who has intersected with the healthcare system seeking behavioral health support, they will know that access is a problem. Our system struggles to deliver timely support with many finding it difficult if not impossible to find resources that are available without months-long waits. Waits that can be life-threatening. As you will hear, by bringing the right resources to bear on the problem of behavioral health we can start to address the increasing numbers of people in need of mental health services. And studies show a positive impact of virtual delivery of behavioral health intervention.

Your better pill to swallow is adopting the telehealth capabilities to support the widest populations served with tele behavioral health solutions. As Mimi puts it, creating hi-tech AND hi-Touch mental health services really can bring about positive changes in this group of expanding patients.
