Mental Health
Programs and care options that support your mental health and wellbeing.

Support when you need it most
Mental health, also known as behavioral health, is an important part of our overall health. It includes our emotional, psychological and social well-being. In the U.S., one in five adults experience mental illness each year. But you are not alone. If you, or someone in your family, has mental health needs, we’re here to help.
What is mental health?
Mental health affects how you think, feel and act. It may impact how you handle stress, relationships and make healthy choices. A few of the most common mental health conditions include:
Warning Signs
Think you might need help? The first step is determining how much these common warning signs and symptoms interfere with your daily life. If any of these last longer than two weeks, you should consider reaching out for help.
Common Warning Signs
- Feeling excessively sad, withdrawn or anxious
- Severe mood swings
- Intense worries or fears
- Sudden overwhelming fear
- Significant weight loss or weight gain
- Out-of-control risk taking behavior
- Repeated use of drugs or alcohol
- Sudden changes in behavior, personality or sleeping habits
- Difficulty concentrating or staying still
- Abrupt changes in sex drive
What to do if you think you need help
If you need help coping with the challenges in your life right now, it can be helpful to talk about how you’re feeling with others. While it can be scary or intimidating to reach out for help, it’s the first step to helping you heal and recover.
