Mental Health Program 

Depression, anxiety and PTSD follow injury more often than they get screened for. The Mental Health Program puts the screens on a schedule, adds treatment between visits, and documents both. For NP-led mental health practices it runs as a standalone program.

What it includes

• Screening on a cadence. PHQ-9, GAD-7 and PCL-5 sent to the patient's phone on the schedule you set, scored and banded automatically, plotted against baseline. PSQI for sleep.
• Guided support tool. A structured program for mild anxiety and depression. The patient can't advance to the next session until you approve the last one. Nothing runs unsupervised.
• Same-day flags. Positive Item 9 on the PHQ-9 and cutoff crossings on GAD-7 or PCL-5 reach you the day they come in.
• Telehealth. Monthly follow-ups inside the platform, logged as interactive communication.

Two ways practices use it

Beside the Concussion Program. Every concussion patient gets PHQ-9, GAD-7 and PCL-5 at the first visit. Patients who screen positive carry the Mental Health module on the same schedule as their PCSS check-ins.

As a standalone program. NP-led mental health practices enroll patients directly. The screens, the guided support tool and telehealth run as the program, and every month is documented.

FAQ

Can the Mental Health Program run without the Concussion Program?

Yes. NP-led practices run it on its own.

Does the PHQ-9 reliably measure depression after a concussion?

Somatic items overlap with concussion symptoms. Kavera shows PHQ-9 next to PCSS so you can read them together. Interpretation is yours.

What happens on a positive Item 9?

Same-day flag to the treating clinician through the dashboard and by message. Your practice's crisis protocol applies.

Is the guided support tool therapy?

It is a structured, clinician-gated support program for mild symptoms. It is not a substitute for psychiatric evaluation or treatment of moderate or severe illness.

Who runs it?

Your staff on Self-Serve. Juliet Mott's team on Managed.
