One in five Americans will experience a mental health disorder in a given year. At Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina, we recognize the connection between mental health and overall wellness. Blue Cross NC is committed to breaking down barriers to mental health care, including accessibility and removing stigma associated with mental and substance use disorders. Behavioral health disorders are highly prevalent highly treatable and nothing to be ashamed of.
During Mental Health Awareness Month this May, Blue Cross NC continues its focus on education and providing resources that empower members to get the help they need when and where they want it, whether in-person or virtual care.
