Behavioural Health

What is a Behavioural Health Consultant?

A Behavioural Health Consultant (BHC) works with you and your health care team to support you if you are experiencing mental health problems, life stresses, motivational issues or other health concerns. A BHC has special training in the behavioural management of health issues through brief interventions. Together, the BHC and your doctor can consider the mind-body-behaviour connection and help you determine a course of action that will work best for you.
