Encouraging whole-person care, the role of the behavioral health consultant serves as a proactive and preventative means, fostering early intervention and detection, as 50% of all lifetime mental health disorders begin by the age of 14 years. Their role is vital in making integrated health care the standard delivery of care, not the exception.
