Ohio Medicaid: Behavioral health support

Behavioral/mental health is an important part of your overall wellness. We help our members take care of their health needs—so they get the right care, in the right place, at the right time.

We are here to help

Asking for help is OK. You can use behavioral/mental healthcare to help you cope with all sorts of issues. These issues can include stress, trauma, worries, or sadness. Sometimes you may only need someone to talk to. We can help you:

  • Figure out what type of care you need
  • Connect with an experienced provider

If you are in a crisis

During a personal or family crisis, call 988, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You’ll speak to someone trained to help. All calls are confidential.
