What is a Behavioral Health Assessment?
A behavioral health assessment is a thorough examination of your emotional, psychological, and behavioral health. It helps to identify any mental health disorders, including autism spectrum disorders, and substance use issues so a treatment plan can be created. The assessment also helps in identifying a wide range of mental health concerns.
