Behavioral health refers to how our children's daily cognitive habits affect their overall well-being, biology, behavior, and emotions. It’s often interchangeable with mental health, but it incorporates our mental wellness, and how our thoughts play out in real life.   Mental health is the child’s well-being concerning their biology, behaviors, and environment. Mental health is broader than the child’s behaviors. Behavioral health refers to how behaviors impact the child’s well-being, and mental health is focused on their state of being.
