    Leveraging support for rising mental and behavioral health conditions

    Mental health-related conditions and hospital visits have increased significantly since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic(1). Today there are 14.2 million people experiencing serious mental illness in the U.S.(2). Further impacting healthcare resources, patients often use their local emergency department as a de facto primary care.

    As a result, clinical teams are pressured to quickly assess, treat, and often de-escalate situations related to mental illness. The risks of harmful consequences are real and rising – and it’s more important than ever to prepare clinicians for patients with mental health conditions.
