The Behavioral Health Division works to improve access to services, ensure health and safety, and ensure quality services are available for those with behavioral health needs. The Division aims to provide a full range of high-quality services, including promotion, prevention, treatment, and recovery to all North Dakotans. We accomplish each of these priorities by leaning on the strengths of our partnerships with public and private entities across North Dakota.
