In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re sharing real examples of how System Navigators help Iowans access mental health support.

Recently, a telehealth organization contacted our System Navigation team after a parent shared concerns about their child’s behavior and mental health.

A System Navigator connected the family to Behavioral Health Intervention Services (BHIS), psychological testing, community resources, and a Child Mental Health Wraparound program. They then successfully assisted the family in applying for a Child Mental Health Wraparound program. These services are now in place, and the child is receiving the needed care.

Connection to support and resources is just one call away. Call 515-505-8988 to connect with an Iowa PCA System Navigator today.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Our System Navigation team connects Iowans to support and resources for social needs that impact health and well-being—including behavioral health.

This month, we’re sharing real examples of how System Navigators support Iowans seeking mental health resources, like the story below.

A grandparent in a rural community reached out to our System Navigation team for grief counseling support for themselves and their grandchild. A System Navigator quickly connected them with a counselor for an initial visit, then helped transition the family to virtual counseling to better meet their needs.

Our System Navigator shared how meaningful it was to quickly connect the family to support and ease the stress of not knowing where to turn.

If you’re looking for mental health resources or support, call 515-505-8988 to connect with a System Navigator.

Not sure if it's serious enough? If it matters to you, it matters.

This , remember - your feelings don't need to be "serious enough" to deserve care. You deserve support, always. 💚
