Imagine a healthcare system that doesn’t just wait for mental health crises but actively works to prevent them. That’s the future Dr. Helen Ouyang talks about in her recent The New York Times piece, and it's the future we, at Mirah, are passionate about too. The Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) is leading this shift by integrating behavioral health into primary care, allowing patients to get timely, evidence-based mental health support without needing a specialist appointment. It helps solve the ongoing behavioral health workforce shortage while empowering primary care teams with psychiatric expertise. With data-driven decision-making and a scalable model that includes care managers from all backgrounds, CoCM is about breaking down barriers, improving access, and most importantly, preventing mental health struggles from becoming crises. I’m excited to be part of this conversation, helping health systems integrate models like CoCM that treat the whole person - not just the symptoms. #cocm #healthcareinnovation #quintupleaim #MentalHealth #CollaborativeCare
