Behavioral health

Behavioral health encompasses the emotions and behaviors that influence your overall well-being. Often referred to as mental health, it also includes aspects related to substance use. Just like physical health, behavioral health requires the expertise of trained providers who offer support and care similar to physical health professionals.

Common causes of behavioral health challenges include:

• Childhood abuse or trauma
• Social isolation or loneliness
• Experiences of discrimination and stigma, including racism
• Social disadvantage and marginalization
• Poverty or financial debt
