Mindful by Blue KC

Healthy mind, healthy body, healthy you

Every day, the numbers rise. And all too often, conditions like depression, anxiety and substance use go untreated. We know it can be hard to admit you need help, and even harder to get it. And that’s why we created Mindful by Blue KC.

This new behavioral health initiative is dedicated to reducing the stigma around behavioral health in our communities while making care more accessible and affordable. We’re here to give our members the care and support they need.
