Fixing Mental & Behavioral Health Infrastructure with MiResource
Behavioral health demand has never been higher. Yet for millions of people, accessing care remains frustratingly out of reach. Referrals fail. Directories mislead. Care teams spend hours navigating systems that weren’t designed for the realities of mental and behavioral health.
The problem isn’t awareness. It’s capacity and infrastructure.
That’s why we’re excited to share more about Findhelp’s new integration partnership with MiResource, expanding our Behavioral Health Network and taking another major step toward improving behavioral health access.
This announcement builds on last week’s launch of our SimplePractice partnership, which brought scheduling-enabled behavioral health providers directly into Findhelp’s platform.
Together, these integrations reflect a clear strategy: behavioral health should not live in siloed tools or disconnected workflows. It belongs inside whole person care delivery.
In this post, you’ll learn:
Why behavioral health access breaks down and what’s driving failed referrals
How Findhelp’s expanded Behavioral Health Network connects search, scheduling, and care
What a unified approach means for access, outcomes, and accountability
Fixing the data that breaks mental & behavioral health referrals
Behavioral health directories are 65 to 90 percent inaccurate. Providers listed as accepting new patients often aren’t. Insurance information is outdated. Availability is unknown. Specialties and populations served are poorly captured, if at all.
When care teams rely on this data, referrals break before care can even begin. Patients hit dead ends. Providers get flooded with mismatched inquiries. Health systems and payers face growing parity and compliance risk as regulators escalate enforcement.
Bad data doesn’t just slow care. It prevents it.
“Accurate data is the difference between a referral that looks good on paper and one that results in real care. MiResource was built to maintain high-fidelity behavioral health provider data across the full continuum of care. Partnering with Findhelp allows that data to power real-world access, accountability, and compliance at scale.”

What this partnership changes
MiResource solves the hardest problem in mental and behavioral health: maintaining accurate, structured, and continuously validated provider data across the full continuum of care, from solo practices to residential treatment programs.
Findhelp ensures referrals actually move, close, and are tracked across social, community, and behavioral health care.
Together, we bring those capabilities into one unified platform.
Care teams, navigators, and agencies can now:
- Discover accurate, clinically relevant behavioral health providers
- Match individuals based on clinical need, insurance, level of care, and social context
- Send referrals inside existing workflows
- Track progress from need to referral to appointment to outcome
This is not another closed network or point solution. It’s open behavioral health infrastructure, designed to scale and improve accuracy at the source.
“By integrating MiResource into our Behavioral Health Network, we’re addressing the data quality and provider accessibility challenges that can stall care before it even starts. This partnership builds on our recent SimplePractice announcement and reflects our broader strategy to bring behavioral health into the same coordinated workflows as social and post-acute care.”

A Behavioral Health Network built for real-world care
Findhelp’s Behavioral Health Network now unifies:
- Curated behavioral health providers powered by MiResource
- Scheduling-enabled practices through SimplePractice
- A nationwide social care ecosystem trusted by health systems, payers, government agencies, and universities
By integrating behavioral health and social care into a single workflow, we reduce administrative burden, accelerate placement, and strengthen transitions across the continuum of care.
Impact across the ecosystem
This expansion delivers meaningful value for everyone involved:
Hospitals & Health Systems
See faster referrals, less manual work, and better care transitions.
Payers
Reduce ghost networks and parity risk while improving compliance.
Behavioral Health Providers
Gain visibility, predictable caseloads, and better-matched referrals.
Individuals
Encounter fewer dead ends and faster access to appropriate care.
Higher Education
Relieve pressure on counseling services and improve student outcomes.
Looking ahead
This partnership operationalizes a belief we share with MiResource: the future of behavioral health access will be determined by data infrastructure, not closed networks.
MiResource provides the data foundation. Findhelp provides the execution layer that turns accurate information into real-world access.
With continued partner expansion and real-time data validation, Findhelp’s Behavioral Health Network is building the infrastructure needed to move behavioral health out of silos and into whole-person care, where it belongs.
