Health Coaching: Your Partner in Health

This confidential program empowers you to move toward your long-term health goals. During the program, you’ll work one-on-one with a care manager to find ways to improve your health and well-being.

Your care manager can help you:

  • Understand your benefits and treatment options.
  • Make healthy lifestyle changes.
  • Get access and referrals to community resources.

CBA offers health coaching for those with ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression and substance use.

Case Management: Helping You Get the Services You Need

When you’re dealing with a difficult issue, you face some tough decisions. It can help to have your own personal case manager — a clinician with experience in behavioral health. CBA’s case managers care about what you’re going through and will make sure you get the answers and services you need.

Your case manager does not take the place of your doctor or therapist. But sometimes, getting the right services takes planning and coordination. Your case manager can work with your health care providers to make sure you get the help you need and that your concerns are addressed. You don’t have to go through these tough times alone. 

 

Not only does CBA give you access to traditional in-person care, but it also gives you the option to see virtual providers. Learn about just a few of the providers who serve our members.
