Peers and family members would like an integrated behavioral health and physical health “system of care” in which:
- The administration and providers really LISTEN to them.
- They have VOICE in planning, implementing, and evaluating their own healthcare.
- They are treated with RESPECT and not stigmatized for having a mental illness in either the behavioral health or the physical health aspects of the system.
- Each person is treated as unique and healthcare is INDIVIDUALIZED accordingly.
- Providers are HIGHLY SKILLED in serving persons with Serious Mental Illnesses.
- Services are coordinated, consistent, and of high QUALITY.
- The focus is on improving health OUTCOMES and ensuring health EQUITY.
These key points and more details can be found at a new report that summarizes feedback from peers and family members regarding the design of the next Maricopa County RBHA with Health Home Services, Recovery Through Whole Health.
The report title is: “Summary of Input from Peers and Family Members Regarding the Planned Integrated Healthcare System for Persons with Serious Mental Illnesses” and can be found at the Integrated Behavioral Health and Primary Care website under the NEWS area.
