Rewriting the Rules of Engagement in Behavioral Health
People often ask how Wayspring engages and cares for members with substance use disorder and complex behavioral health needs. The reality is, under traditional fee-for-service reimbursement models, it’s nearly impossible. Yet, these are precisely the activities that transform lives.
Despite growing awareness of the mind-body connection, mental health concerns in women’s healthcare are frequently overlooked, deprioritized, or treated as separate from physical health. Women experiencing anxiety during pregnancy, mood shifts in menopause, or cognitive changes in later life may not be asked about their mental well-being during routine care visits. Many navigate these transitions without the right support, increasing their risk for more serious health conditions and driving up total cost of care.
Join us and explore how we can break through these silos, ensuring that mental health is seamlessly integrated into care at every stage of life—whether in OB-GYN offices, fertility clinics, menopause centers, or specialty care settings.
