The American Psychological Association's new "Psychologists in Integrated Health Care" video series highlights how psychologists can work side-by-side with other health professionals to improve patients’ overall well-being. The video series is designed to promote awareness of how integrated care works and benefits society and provides a behind-the-scenes look at how psychologists in integrated health contribute to improved patient satisfaction and better health by working collaboratively with all members of the care team. Integrating mental health services in primary care practices:
Improves access to mental health care.
Reduces stigma.
Addresses psychosocial factors that worsen health outcomes across the lifespan.
