Beacon Clinical Topic: Adverse Childhood Experiences and their Outcomes

According to self-reported data from the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study, at least one in four kids in the U.S. has experienced some type of neglect or abuse during their childhood with one in seven having experienced abuse or neglect in the last year. When we fail to address these issues, we put children further…

Accessing Mental Health Care After a Disaster – How You Can Help Eliminate Stigma

In Beacon’s third white paper, we share the application of the Zero Suicide framework, a key concept of the 2012 National Strategy for Suicide Prevention that suicide deaths…

The Benefits of a Behavioral Health Specialty Care Program

As federal and state health care expenditures continue to rise, state agency leaders look to the managed care industry for solutions to better manage health care costs while covering more members. The Congressional Budget Office Extended Baseline Scenario projects costs for Medicaid, Medicare, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, and the health insurance exchange subsidies to…
