The sector is also attracting attention from large healthcare systems as we understand more about the connection between improved behavioral health and overall health outcomes.

What is Behavioral Health?

It can refer to providers who specialize in working with clients who have intellectual or developmental disabilities, or it may include treatment providers who offer outpatient or residential in-patient services for youth and adults with behavioral issues and substance use disorders.
