Strengthening communities and the people who live in them.

Each of us looks to the community for a wide range of supports – education, housing, health and behavioral health, employment, safety and security, and more. New Mexico’s communities have found many ways to help address these complex and interdependent needs. At the state level, the very structure of the Behavioral Health Collaborative recognizes this interdependence.

And so do we.

OptumHealth works with the entire community to build systems of care that:

• Coordinate the resources and services necessary to support recovery and resiliency, using mutually agreed-upon priorities and protocols
• Leverage resources to the benefit of the entire system and those who count on it
• Build on best practices from around the country – adapted to the needs of New Mexico
• Strengthen the functioning of every participating system
• Speak to the unique cultural needs of each community and region

If you represent a school district, housing program, health plan, social services agency, Tribal government, court or any other system that works with people who have behavioral health care needs, please tell us what you think:

• What is the next step to strengthening systems in your community?
• What role can the behavioral health Statewide Entity play?
• When can we talk?

You’ll find OptumHealth representatives throughout New Mexico. Ready to listen. Committed to working together.

Together, we can help transform behavioral health care in New Mexico.
