The National Council for Community Behavioral Healthcare submitted a response to the Department of Health and Human Services' strategic framework for individuals with multiple chronic conditions. The National Council represents over 1,700 community mental health and addiction treatment organizations. They stressed that mental illness and substance use disorders often co-occur with physical health conditions, worsening health outcomes. They supported several of the strategic framework's goals, including identifying best practices and tools for treating individuals with multiple chronic conditions, enhancing health professionals' training, and facilitating self-care management programs which have been effective for other chronic conditions like mental illnesses and substance use disorders. Community behavioral health organizations are well positioned to coordinate care for those with multiple chronic conditions.
