Keywords:
New Jersey, ecosystem, interview, Behavioral Health, pandemicAbstract
Behavioral health and physical health have not only been siloed and separated from each other, but behavioral healthcare has also carried the extra burden of stigma, which negatively affects both consumers in need of that healthcare and the delivery of that care and its interwoven ecosystem—providers, insurance carriers, related nonprofits and for-profits, government entities, community organizations, and individuals. But lately, spurred by the pandemic and increased awareness around the importance and impact of behavioral health on overall health and quality of life, we are seeing this ecosystem’s priorities shifting in a positive way through the great efforts of social sector changemakers and innovators, like Frank Ghinassi and Melissa Fox, that is leading to greater attention, concern and priority on finding solutions that allow for better behavioral healthcare. That leads to overall better health and community for all. The following is a compilation of two separate conversations with Frank Ghinassi and Melissa Fox.
