WE GET IT
We're better together!
Our community makes it fast, easy, and affordable for you to have in-house mental health care coordination services.
You want your patients to have full recovery.
Your medical encounters have a mental health component. Screening and referrals are crucial, yet time and resources often pose challenges in addressing both medical and mental health needs for every patient. We've fixed this for you!
You understand this means someone needs to compliment your medical care with mental health support.
Your office structure, billing systems, admin staff, and medical training are not designed for mental health care.
You have ethical and liability responsibilities.
You need to screen and quickly refer mental health concerns without adding administrative, financial, or time burdens to your practice.
Who we are
Mental Health Connector is founded, funded, and designed by a medical and mental health provider weary of the current system. We are a patient and provider focused ecosystem with a mission of making mental health support accessible to all through community building, strength-based marketing, innovative funding strategies, and radical generosity.
Helping others is your passion. We're here to make it easier and more rewarding for you.

OUR PROCESS
Let's be real...
Your patients need mental health support, but they don't follow through with the therapy or psychiatry you've recommended. Even when they do, you never receive their records, leaving this aspect of care separate and frustrating for both you and your patients.
Our system allows you (or your designated office staff) to make quick, confident referrals with an easy, convenient process for coordinators and patients.
Our community offers resources to help mental health providers understand medical office workflows. Expect timely care coordination responses, ensuring your patients are well cared for and allowing you to efficiently close the loop in your documentation and referral tracking.
Every medical encounter includes a mental health component.
When you join our community, you will experience the easiest way to help your clients achieve the holistic care and full recovery you want for them.

Improve your patient outcomes
When clients are referred to mental health services intentionally, they are more likely to have a good "fit" with their provider and continue care.
“There is no health without mental health; mental health is too important to be left to the professionals alone, and mental health is everyone’s business.”

FAQs
Why would a medical provider join the Mental Health Connector Provider Community?
Our private community makes it possible for medical providers and community organizations to quickly and easily identify mental health referral sources for their patients and members, network with one another, and identify and work to address mental health needs at the community level by collaborating on program development and marketing.
Is this another Facebook group?
Absolutely not. This is a highly organized working space for mental health and medical providers and organizations to directly make and receive referrals. Every participating member must have a good understanding of HIPAA and be able and committed to making and receiving referral requests using HIPAA standards.
Who can participate?
Licensed medical providers (MD, DO, NP, PA, RN, PT, OT, SLP, doulas, another licensed medical professionals), licensed mental health providers, case managers associated with licensed medical or mental health organizations, referral coordinators, and licensed social workers.
What is the cost to join?
$39.99/month, no contracts, cancel at any time. Participate in our Ambassador program and make your account free or even earn additional income.
Do you have to be a provider to join?
Yes, you must maintain an active US license in order to join or be an approved representative of a recognized medical organization (case manager, referral coordinator, admin staff). You will provide and confirm your licensing and organization information. Organizations that authorize a referral coordinator to act on their behalf are responsible for updating their account if there are any changes.
There are a lot of provider directories and groups? What makes this special?
Beyond the networking, organized referral system, and interdisciplinary collaboration opportunities, we have a library for resources to help medical and mental health providers thrive-combat burnout, expand your services, increase your revenue, make a bigger impact, find and post jobs, and find personal enrichment in our grassroots efforts to combat stigma and increase access to care.
We know why you went into this work—to help others—and we're making it simpler and more rewarding for you to do so.
