Behavioral Health & Substance Use Disorder
Mental health — equally as important as physical health — refers to an individual’s cognitive, behavioral and emotional well-being. It is all about how people think, feel and behave. An estimated 44 million adults live with a mental illness, yet nearly 60% don’t receive treatment in a given year. This section explores and provides resources to address behavioral health and substance use disorders.
