Behavioral Health Prevention Programs

Preventing Depression 

Clinical depression is recognized as one of the major health concerns facing our nation. For this reason, WHA has Depression Prevention Programs for WHA members at risk for depression. The programs are compliant with the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) standards and focus on enhancing the delivery of preventive health through depression screening.

Postpartum Depression

This type of depression is highly treatable. WHA and Optum Behavioral Health offer services to support new moms who may be struggling with postpartum depression.
