About this Webinar

Watch the video

Many individuals who develop substance use disorders (SUD) are also diagnosed with a behavioral health disorder.1 In fact, more than one in four adults living with behavioral health problems also has a substance use problem.1 The two are so closely related, yet often treated separately with many employer benefits plans. In this webinar, learn from industry experts about the importance of a comprehensive, equitable, and quality-driven behavioral health benefits offering designed around a growing hybrid workforce – both deskless (37%)2 and remote/hybrid employees, which as of 2023 now make up 40.9% of the full-time workforce.3

In addition, this panel of industry leaders will cover:

  • How health plans and clinical service providers can better support these growing populations
  • Effectively addressing the stigma associated with behavioral health and SUD for non-office-based workers
  • Strategies to ensure prevention and early screening of behavioral health conditions
  • How offering dually licensed providers who specialize in both SUD issues and other behavioral health conditions can lead to more successful treatment solutions and outcomes
  • How to create a behavioral health benefits strategy that can support members’ individual needs and preferences, including in-person and virtual treatment
  • The importance of immediate and ongoing support that is discreet, inclusive, and affordable
  • How bundled rates can help with the affordability and predictability of behavioral healthcare
  • Bright spots in this space that our experts are seeing offering hope for those with substance use disorders
