WHAT IS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH?
As a general concept, behavioral health refers to a field of scientific study, academic education, and clinical healthcare practice that focuses on the integration of psychosocial, behavioral, and biomedical knowledge relevant to health and illness. Behavioral health principles can be applied in practice by a variety of disciplines including psychologists, social workers, counselors, other mental health professionals, nurses, physicians, and others.
