Behavioral Health and Counseling Services
Specialized behavioral care to help you achieve work life balanceBehavioral & Mental Health Services
It can be difficult to distinguish between behavioral health and mental health services. The key to understanding the two is that behavioral health is an umbrella term that includes mental health. Any mental health services are also considered behavioral health. Any impact on a person, both physical and mental, are a part of their behavioral health.
