Behavioral Health
At HCAI Health Workforce Development, we champion behavioral health programs that help California’s health workforce grow and learn.
How is Mental Health different from Behavioral Health?
Mental Health is specific to our emotional, psychological, and cognitive well-being and includes mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia, as a few examples. Mental health focuses on the mind and its internal processes.
Behavioral health includes mental health and how specific behaviors affect our overall well-being. So, looking at our habits, lifestyles, and choices. Some behavioral health issues are substance abuse, eating disorders, and self-harm.
