Back to School Stress

Many kids often feel anxious about going back to school and with COVID-19 added to the mix, stress is on the rise for both parents and students. Optum Idaho encourages you to talk about Back to School Stress with your family, friends and school counselors and simply saying "Hello" is a good first step toward getting the conversation going. Click here for related information and resources.

To further assist you and your loved ones with achieving positive mental health throughout the year, Optum Idaho has created Hello Idaho!  This is a year-round statewide campaign providing tools for students, families, businesses and community members to help address and reduce both emotional and physical isolation. Click here to learn more.

Connect.  Reach Out.  Say Hello!

By working collaboratively with the State of Idaho to implement the goals set forth by the State and to deliver quality, efficient and effective changes, we will achieve better outcomes for Idahoans and transform the behavioral health system.
