Behavioral Health
Behavioral health encompasses mental health and substance use, focusing on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors affect overall well-being. It includes the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of mental health conditions like depression and anxiety, as well as substance use disorders. Supporting behavioral health means increasing access to care, reducing stigma, and promoting emotional resilience through community programs, counseling, crisis intervention, and education. A strong behavioral health system is essential for a thriving community.
