M.S. in Mental Health and Wellness with an Emphasis in Integrated Health

Grand Canyon University’s Master of Science in Mental Health and Wellness with an Emphasis in Integrated Health degree program prepares students for a career in integrated health care. The American Psychology Association defines integrated health care as collaborative efforts among health care professionals to provide patients with comprehensive treatment and improve overall well-being.

Integrated, or interprofessional, health care is characterized by a significant level of collaboration and communication among professionals in their approach to delivering quality care. Diverse professionals work as team members to exchange information related to a patient’s care and develop a treatment plan together that addresses all the various needs of the patient. The goal of integrated health care is to reduce symptoms, improve quality of care and outcomes, increase accessibility to services and lower costs.
