Mental Health Awareness Month: Celebrating Integration

kʷaxʷačiʔ Behavioral Health & Wellness

As we observe Mental Health Awareness Month, we take a moment to reflect on the importance of mental well-being, healing, and holistic health. This year is particularly special as we celebrated one year since the successful integration of our behavioral health program, which unites substance use disorder treatment and mental health services into a single, comprehensive system of care.

For generations, our people have understood that true wellness is a balance of mind, body, and spirit. The integration of our behavioral health program is a reflection of this wisdom, recognizing that substance use and mental health challenges are deeply interconnected. By bringing these services together, we ensure that our community members receive care that acknowledges the full spectrum of their experiences.

The launch of our integrated behavioral health program is a milestone in our ongoing commitment to the well-being of our community. By breaking down barriers to care, fostering cultural resilience, and embracing a holistic approach to healing, we are building a stronger, healthier future for generations to come.
