About Behavioral Health

Behavioral health refers to the connection between a person’s actions, emotions, and overall mental and physical well-being.

It includes how daily habits—like managing stress, eating, sleeping, and socializing—affect both mental and physical health.

Behavioral health plays a vital role in maintaining overall well-being and quality of life. When behavioral health is supported, people are better able to handle life’s challenges, maintain relationships, and manage physical health conditions.

Physical Health

• Chronic stress, anxiety, and depression can increase the risk for physical conditions such as obesity, heart disease, chronic pain, and weakened immunity.

• Healthy coping behaviors and emotional regulation can help prevent or reduce these risks.

Mental Health

• Behavioral health services focus on identifying, managing, and treating conditions such as depression, anxiety, and substance use.

• Treatment often involves coping strategies, therapy, and supportive care to promote emotional balance and resilience.

Social Well Being

• Good behavioral health strengthens relationships, communication skills, and social engagement.

• It helps individuals build connections, resolve conflicts, and maintain a sense of belonging and purpose in daily life.
