About Behavioral Health | Office of Marine and Aviation Operations

About
Behavioral Health as an industry has traditionally focused on clinical services: the assessment and treatment of mental health and substance use disorders. This is an important function that serves approximately 20% of the workforce in a given year. Important though this function is, the behavioral health industry is actively expanding its scope beyond this to include non-clinical functions that serve 100% of the workforce all the time. Such non-clinical services include: improving stress management and resilience, human performance optimization, and advocating for and/or implementing any intervention (policy, program, or practice) that positively impacts wellness and well-being.
