What is Behavioral Health?

When we say, “Behavioral Health”, we mean the promotion of mental health, embracing resilience and wellbeing; the treatment of mental health and substance use disorders and those who experience and/or are in recovery from these conditions, along with their families and communities.

So with that understanding,  the Department of Behavioral Health(DBH) is a Fresno County government agency who is responsible for ensuring services are provided to the residents of Fresno County, to help those who may be facing mental health or substance use challenge get better, and overcome those challenges in Fresno County.

Specifically our department provides direct services to the community in the form of programs, treatment, education, prevention, and information, while it also funds a number of programs and services in Fresno County to assist those who may be uninsured or under-insured with accessing receiving care to recover and become well.
