For some Veterans, opening up about mental health can feel scary. Concerns about stigma or judgment can make it hard to reach out.
This Mental Health Month, hear how others overcame these barriers and gave therapy a chance. maketheconnection.net/mental…
During #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, it’s a powerful time to look honestly at how our devices can both support and strain our well-being, and how we can use them more intentionally.

The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act has caused confusion for payers and providers due to its patchwork of parity requirements.

Nearly 75% of Medicaid behavioral health services are provided through managed care organizations, making integrated care a cornerstone of the behavioral health system.
Integrating physical and behavioral health services is critical to improving outcomes, reducing gaps in care, and meeting the demand for whole-person care. Thoughtful policy plays an important role.
Our members support policies that ensure individuals enrolled in Medicaid receive medically necessary and high-quality behavioral health treatment through care models designed to deliver results for patients and communities. buff.ly/ne8vuO7
ABHW member Evernorth has grown its Behavioral Care Group from virtual services in just 6 markets and a network of 1,000 providers to more than 5,000 providers nationwide, with plans to reach 15,000 providers in 2026. That kind of expansion represents real momentum.
It means more patients connected to care and more communities supported.
We’re proud to see our members leading the way in strengthening the behavioral health system and delivering innovative solutions that improve lives. buff.ly/LiIGCka
Earlier this year, ABHW member @Cigna Healthcare, expanded its virtual behavioral health offerings through a new partnership with AI-powered mental health and wellness platform, @Headspace.
This collaboration delivers convenient, coordinated, and affordable behavioral health support directly to people who need it, meeting people where they are and helping them engage in care in ways that fit their lives: buff.ly/TUpEYUe.
ABHW joined the Mental Health Liaison Group in a letter to the Department of Education urging revisions to the proposed RISE rule. Read the full letter: buff.ly/PlPOd05.
As written, the definition of “professional degree” would exclude key behavioral health graduate programs—limiting eligibility for student loan relief and worsening workforce shortages.
Protecting access to these degree pathways is essential to ensuring a strong, sustainable mental health and substance use disorder workforce.

.@ElevanceHealth, an ABHW member, has partnered with @NAMICommunicate to create the Working with Teens & Young Adults on-demand experience, a resource designed help equip providers to better support teens & young adults navigating mental health challenges.buff.ly/lUCzec7
ABHW has submitted comments to the Department of Education expressing concern that the proposed definition of “professional degree” excludes graduate degrees essential to delivering mental health and substance use disorder care across the United States.
This proposal will exacerbate existing health care provider shortages and directly undermine patients’ access to high-quality, evidence-based care.
At a time when demand for behavioral health services continues to rise, this proposal threatens access to behavioral health care services and the broader health care system that depends on integrated, whole-person care.
