Mental and Behavioral Health Care Services

Mental health encompasses our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It impacts how we think, feel, and act, and helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Just like physical health, it’s essential to care for our mental health at every stage of life, from childhood through adulthood. Today, and every day, Guilford County is focused on the mental well-being of our residents. We strive to provide exceptional mental health services and work to reduce the stigma surrounding care and outreach. If you, or someone you know needs support, the selection of resources below provides care options for a variety of mental health situations.
