'We believe this is the moment for action and the transformation of the behavioral health ecosystem so that more Arizonans can live healthy, prosperous, and flourishing lives.'
Arizona’s future prosperity depends on wellness and positive mental health. The COVID pandemic crushed us. Stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, substance abuse, burnout, absenteeism, suicidal thoughts, and lack of job engagement damaged our community’s cohesiveness, economic health, and productivity.
After extensive discussions with Tucson area leaders in the mental health field, three priorities for collaborative action emerged:First and foremost, mental health professionals must be available to handle the exploding demand for services. Businesses, governments, universities, community colleges, and healthcare providers need to forge innovative training partnerships.
To make mental health careers attractive, higher pay will be essential, and changes in insurance reimbursement rates for healthcare providers are needed.Let us build on existing community pillars of strength to cooperate and collaborate for a comprehensive solution to the crisis. A coordinated approach with other sectors is needed to address underlying social determinants of health, such as housing, transportation, nutrition, employment training, and social and spiritual support.Telehealth and mobile health applications soared during COVID.
Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University, and the University of Arizona are well-positioned anchors for establishing Arizona as a Health and Wellness Tech Hub for conducting applied research, designing demonstrations, commercializing intellectual property, nurturing entrepreneurial startups, and creating jobs.
