behavioral health systems
Behavioral health systems are coordinated networks that provide mental health and substance use services to individuals. They include healthcare providers such as therapists, psychiatrists, clinics, hospitals, and support organizations working together to ensure accessible, effective care. These systems focus on prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and recovery support, emphasizing personalized, holistic approaches to mental well-being. They also involve policies, funding, and community resources that help individuals access the help they need, reduce stigma, and improve overall mental health outcomes within a population.
