May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a great time to guide your clients toward solutions that go beyond awareness and deliver meaningful impact. Anthem’s integrated behavioral health ecosystem provides a clear path to stronger support across access, outcomes, and experience.
In fact, one in five adults in the U.S. experience a mental illness every year, yet only 50 percent receive treatment.
A connected approach to whole-person care
Behavioral health needs often follow a medical diagnosis, whether it be an acute or chronic condition. Because Anthem integrates behavioral health into medical care management and condition-specific programs, we can help ensure support is proactive instead of reactive. This coordinated model helps close gaps between physical and behavioral health.
Better access across the care spectrum
Employees can access care at every stage, from early emotional well-being support to more complex treatment. Options include virtual therapy, digital tools, chat support, and in-person care. By combining virtual-first solutions with a broad network of care providers and partners, Anthem helps reduce delays and connect employees to care sooner.
Driving better outcomes through integration
When behavioral health is embedded within broader care management, engagement and adherence to a treatment plan improve. A recent study showed a 10 percent reduction in inpatient admissions and ER visits for mental health in 2025 when behavioral and medical care are connected and coordinated.1
A simpler, more personalized experience
Care navigation connects employees to the right level of support without unnecessary complexity. This reduces confusion, shortens time to care, and creates a more seamless whole-health experience. It helps employees feel supported and confident in their benefits.
Anthem’s approach helps you position behavioral health as a strategic advantage for your clients, improving access, outcomes, and the overall employee experience.
