For children and youth who need behavioral health care, HealthVine works to ensure they get the right level of care, at the right time and the right location. We strongly believe in the power of an integrated approach to behavioral health care and are working to expand access to behavioral health services in primary care. HealthVine also offers access to behavioral health workforce training opportunities and multilevel, evidence-based care in the community.

Additionally, HealthVine care managers support children with behavioral health needs to help them, and their families, overcome barriers and access appropriate, high-quality services.
