Promoting the Integration of Primary and Behavioral Healthcare

This program, also known as the Collaborative Care College Initiative, aims to tackle the significant mental health disparities affecting college students by integrating behavioral health services into three university health clinics across Tennessee. Specifically, this initiative will improve mental health outcomes by providing targeted services such as mental health screenings and assessments, individual and group counseling, medication management, and care coordination. The behavioral health services are embedded within the health clinics at Tennessee Tech, UT Martin, and Bethel University. Our collaborative partners in this initiative include Volunteer Behavioral Health, Carey Counseling, and Hometown Health.
