February is Black History Month.
At BHcare we recognize the contributions that black Americans have made to the healthcare community, and notably to the behavioral health field.
We recognize mental health conditions do not discriminate based on age, race, or gender, however access to health care has historically been a barrier for minorities.
This leads to lack of support and treatment, and ultimately not feeling well.
According to the Discovery Mood & Anxiety Program, African-American adults are 20 percent more likely to experience mental health issues than the rest of the population yet only around 25 percent seek treatment for a mental health issue, compared to 40 percent of white individuals.
BHcare provides a healthy and welcoming community that celebrates people from all walks of life. We are here to help.
BHcare offices are located in Ansonia and Branford.
Some of the services BHcare offers include:
- Individual and Group Therapy
- Trauma Informed Care
- Substance Use Disorder Services
- Coordination with Health Care Providers
- Community Support Services
- Job Placement
We continue to advocate for mental health parity to make high-quality mental health and addiction treatment services available to anyone who needs them.
