ONSCREEN TEXT: Behavioral health
Delivering across a continuum of care
ONSCREEN TEXT: Mental illness. National Institute of Mental Health, Mar. 2023.
As a narrator talks, vignettes flash past: people hang out in a coffee shop, a woman video chats with a friend on her phone, a young woman talks with her mom on a living room couch, a father leans over to hug his son, a woman gazes out an office window, and two colleagues chat as they work in an open-concept office space.
NARRATOR: Mental health conditions are affecting millions of people nationwide. This emergence of behavioral health needs has captured the attention of employers.
The screen splits in two, previewing the upcoming video chat with Dr. Randall and Dr. Rosenzweig.
NARRATOR: Here, Dr. Randall and Dr. Rosenzweig, tell us why a focus on access and supporting employees across a continuum of care are critical to a benefit strategy.

Chief Medical Officer, UnitedHealthcare Employer & Individual
DR. RANDALL: Employers are asking about behavioral health coverage, behavioral health access, more than they ever have before. I think that's driven by their recognition and our sharing of data with them of the trends that were happening leading up to the pandemic, and the trends that have been happening real time.

Dr. Randall speaks from her office. The screen splits in two as she speaks, and on the right Dr. Rosenzweig nods along as he listens.
DR. RANDALL: So, understanding what's happening in your community, and with your workforce as an employer, that's something that you want a partnership with your health plan, who can bring that to you and say, you know what, despite the fact that this is the trend nationally, your trend for your population might be the opposite. And we want to share that information with you so that you can use it to take action.

ONSCREEN TEXT: A guided experience
Dr. Randall speaks from her home-office.
DR. RANDALL: So, getting access to behavioral health support can often be confusing to navigate, often more confusing than a physical health condition, for example.
Seven Circles appear on a blue screen with animated images inside them: a map of the continental United States with various pinpoints on it, the medical cross symbol, a stethoscope around a doctors neck, a doctors lab coat with a pen in the pocket, a calendar with a checkmark on one day, a heart, and a collared shirt over a sweater. Lines connect the images. Then, as Dr. Randall speaks, the circle with the stethoscope around a doctor’s neck shifts to the left of the screen. The other images disappear, and text appears on the right of the screen.

Two bubbles appear, each containing an animated face. One wears a headset. Then, Dr. Randall speaks in her home-office.
DR. RANDALL: And the recognition that the person that I'm on the phone with really sounds like they’re somebody who needs support, and I can provide that navigation to the right starting point in the system for them.

DR. ROSENZWEIG: What we refer to when we talk about that continuum, or the guided continuum, is the ability to sort of engage with someone either, you know, in real time or digitally, to understand what their needs are, and then sort of connect them with what, you know, the research would show would be the best services for their particular circumstance.
