Children's behavioral health services in Sacramento, CA
We believe in understanding and caring for the whole person. This is why Dignity Health Medical Foundation physicians look at the mind, body, and spirit connection, especially when it comes to behavioral health. This practice refers to the connection of behaviors between health and well-being.
Over the past few years, behavioral health has developed to include behaviors like eating habits, drinking, and mental health. Behavioral and mental health have begun to be used interchangeably. However, there is a difference between them: behavioral looks at both physical and mental concerns.
Our licensed professionals provide a variety of counseling services to children, adolescents and their families. Our staff includes a child/adolescent psychiatrist, mental health counselors and Family and Youth Peer Advocates. They provide services in a variety of settings, including clinics, schools, and residential homes.
