In the “Thriving on the Frontlines” docuseries, see how the pandemic has underlined the efficacy of their holistic approach to treatment, allowing them to close care gaps between physical and mental healthcare.
“It’s been a difficult year for everyone, but I think it’s probably been a good year for mental healthcare. I think that a lot of people who maybe never before, have [now] said, ‘You know, I need to talk to someone.’” – Charity Laister, Cahaba Medical Care.
