Behavioral Health Resources

Providence members have options when it comes to getting behavioral health care.

We know behavioral health care isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. We’re all unique, and our journey and needs vary depending on our personal situation. At Providence, we want that lens to drive us when looking at the mix of services and solutions we offer for your well-being. Whether you’re looking for some support to relax, ready to try self-directed therapy that helps you to engage when you feel like it, or looking for immediate connection to a provider – via text, voice, video or face to face – we have many options to fit your needs.

We're here for you when you need us

At Providence, we value whole self-care for all members. That’s why we’ve enhanced our focus on behavioral health and substance use disorder services. To help simplify the way you get whole self-care, we’ve established a direct access line to a dedicated behavioral health and substance use disorder service support team that includes a crisis-trained staff. This team is available 24/7 for members.

Learn to Live

It’s important to treat emotional, psychological, and social well-being with the same care as physical health concerns. Mental health conditions can significantly impact day-to-day life, including overall happiness and productivity at work. To provide comprehensive whole-health support, we are introducing a virtual self-directed program called Learn to Live based on the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). It’s confidential, available in English and Spanish, and can be accessible from anywhere.
