The percentage of U.S. adults who’ve experienced a serious mental illness or substance use disorder in the past year has been strikingly high, according to the latest SAMHSA data. Unfortunately, 1 in 3 of those with a serious mental illness didn’t seek treatment, underscoring the significant hurdles involved in accessing care, such as cost, not knowing where to go and lack of openings or availability.

A workforce mental health or employee assistance program (EAP) is an invaluable resource for employees with mental health or substance use concerns, and when structured the right way, can help navigate participants with more acute issues to the most clinically appropriate care even beyond the EAP. That’s where personalized care planning and navigation for complex cases becomes crucial. By forming partnerships with top-tier treatment providers like Hazelden Betty Ford, an EAP can provide continued navigation to participants to, through and after more advanced levels of care.
