NK Presents: Improving Access to Behavioral Health
Healthcare providers have devoted increased attention to mental and behavioral health — a need expected to only intensify after COVID-19 — but barriers to access have long kept people from getting the care they need, particularly in minority groups or under-resourced communities.
What challenges do providers face in expanding access to behavioral health services? What initiatives are being undertaken, and what policies put in place, to overcome them? How can design and technology help? Join NK Architects as we convene the region’s leading experts in behavioral health to discuss how we can improve mental health in our communities — for everyone.
