Behavioral Health

Behavioral health is the term used to describe care given to people to promote optimal emotional and social well being. It puts the emphasis on the activities of living rather than a state of mind, in contrast to the term “mental health”. For our population of recent immigrant, poor, non-majority culture families, neither term may resonate. Our clinicians in the field are working to provide the highest standard of behavioral health care using terminology and practices that are supportive of the patient’s cultural experiences.
