Behavioral Health
Under The Big Sky
Suicide. Substance use. Incarceration. Child abuse and neglect. Public health is being called upon by community leaders and elected officials struggling to address these challenges. The Montana Public Health Institute is committed to supporting local and tribal public health departments to build capacity in behavioral health to reduce the rates of substance use and mental health issues.
Public health works across the behavioral health continuum of care to improve outcomes. Public health is well positioned to deliver prevention programming while bringing together sectors to collaborate in crisis diversion, treatment and recovery efforts.
As behavioral health continues to appear on every Community Health Assessment, see how these Montana Local and Tribal Health Departments are leading community efforts to address suicide, drug overdose, and other behavioral health priorities.
