Depression

Children’s Community Health Plan (CCHP) uses clinical guidelines* to support our members and/or their caregivers with management tools and educational opportunities through our Depression Disease Management (DM) Program.

We are an integrated care team whose approach is to provide education, self-management support and connection to resources.  Our goal is to enhance members’ ability to manage their condition(s) and improve overall health outcomes and quality of life.  CCHP is also proud to offer these resources to our providers and community partners.

As a member, you are able to participate in the Depression DM Program.  The program is free and voluntary.
