Behavioral health services can help those facing mental health conditions, substance abuse or a behavioral health crisis.

The type of service you might need depends on your personal situation. Call Member Services at 1-877-860-2837 (TTY/TDD: 711) and we can help you find out what services are covered. You do not need a referral for a provider that is in our network.

Family Leadership Council

Your Voice Matters. You are invited on a quarterly basis to join the Family Leadership Council (FLC). The FLC is a group of youth, parents, and community partners joining forces with BCCHP to address issues and discuss opportunities regarding children’s behavioral health and special needs. The goal is to create a team of advocates to better understand the experiences of families accessing public services on behalf of their children. The FLC is a chance for you to:

• Share your experiences and ideas on how to improve children’s behavioral health services and services for children with special needs.
• Help to develop a better family-driven care plan.
• Connect with other families to learn about helpful community resources.

Register for upcoming meetings! Members who join the meeting will be given a $25 gift card.

Mental Health Follow-up During and After Your Hospital Stay

Mental Health Follow-up Can Help Improve Your Overall Health

If you are in the hospital for medical problems, there may be mental health problems that should be treated too. Some signs may be feeling tired, having headaches or an upset stomach. You may have a hard time sleeping or eating. You may feel sad, anxious or really scared. These may make your medical problems worse.

Ask your doctor or nurse about seeing someone for this while you are in the hospital. Let them know what symptoms you have. Then ask them for a mental health consult. This means that a specialist will talk to you about these symptoms.

Before you leave the hospital, make sure that you have a mental health follow-up appointment scheduled. It is best if the appointment is within 30 days of discharge.
