At Providence, we are working to change how we care for our patients with behavioral health needs.
Behavioral health is more than mental health. It includes the treatment of mental illnesses as well as emotional well-being, domestic violence, substance abuse and other addictive behaviors. At Providence, we are integrating behavioral health care into the primary care setting. By caring for the whole person, we can reduce the reluctance many patients have when seeking help for behavioral health issues.
Donors help us fund projects and services that benefit patients struggling with issues related to
behavioral health.
