FALLS CHURCH, Va. — Nearly half of through their primary care manager.
people with a treatable behavioral health dis-
order do not seek help from behavioral health
professionals, according to the U.S. Depart-
ment of Health and Human Services.

However, 80 percent of this population does
visit a primary care manager at least once a
year. The Air Force Behavioral Health Opti-
mization Program seeks to bridge this gap by
providing behavioral health care in a primary
care setting.

The Behavioral Health Optimization Pro-
gram, or BHOP, integrates behavioral health
personnel into primary care clinics, to provide
“the right care, at the right time, in the right
place.” Beneficiaries with behavioral health
concerns can seek care directly through their
primary care manager.

Issues such as compounding stress can lead
to depression, post-traumatic stress disorder,
or general anxiety disorders. Often times,
problems resulting in adverse mental health
effects can be addressed by primary care
providers through the support of behavioral
health services.
