Optum Idaho
One person, one family, one community at a time. Every individual and every family has a unique road to wellness, health and hope. Optum manages outpatient behavioral health benefits for Idaho Medicaid members. It is our commitment to help transform Idaho’s behavioral health outpatient system by focusing on helping people reach recovery in their own health journey.
Resilience
Child abuse, neglect and growing up in a seriously dysfunctional household are all Adverse Childhood Experiences, or ACEs for short. Left unresolved or untreated, these experiences can create childhood trauma and toxic stress that can last a lifetime and even shorten a person’s lifespan by up to 20 years. This year, Optum is once again partnering with IPTV to bring you the new documentary Resilient Idaho: Hope Lives Here. This film looks at how being resilient has helped some Idahoans overcome the ill effects caused by ACEs to not only lead fulfilling lives but be community leaders. We are pleased to share with you their unique stories of triumph over trauma. Click here to learn more about the documentary.
