‌
Behavioral Health is a broad term that refers to how a person’s actions affect their overall health. This covers mental health, substance misuse concerns, stress-related physical symptoms, and health-related behaviors. Our emotional, psychological, and social well-being are all addressed by mental health.
 
Our Psychiatric Services Design Specialists are proud to support organizations who are offering those affected by behavioral health conditions the support, dignity, and continuum of care needed for patients to lead healthy and fulfilling lives.
 
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, we'd like to take this time to recognize our clients and the steps they are taking to make a difference!
