Mental health is for everybody, and even though Mental Health Awareness Month is coming to an end, our informative content can help groups and members maintain awareness all year long. To help you guide members to care, we've compiled all the content in one place. Use and share these links with your employer groups throughout the year to help guide them and their employees to better mental health.

Behavioral health resource flyer, "Know your behavioral health options": This is a complete guide to all the ways members can find and access behavioral health care. If you share only one piece of behavioral health content, make it this one. And, while we encourage all members to create an account and sign in to regence.com to find care, they can contact and receive care quickly from the virtual providers listed on the flyer with no referral and no pre-authorization required.

Email template: Employers can use this email template to send the behavioral health resource flyer to employees.

Company intranet/newsletter article: Employers can include this article in their company's employee newsletter or intranet to reinforce the importance of mental health and encourage use of their health plan's network and provider options.

Understanding the different provider types: With so many different behavioral health providers, it can be hard to know which type is right for each circumstance. This flyer provides an overview of the different providers to help members make informed decisions and know what to expect: IDAHO | OREGON | UTAH | WASHINGTON
