Behavioral Health Specialist

The Behavioral Health Specialist's (BHS) primary responsibility is to meet the behavioral needs of all District employees.  One responsibility of the BHS is to coordinate a voluntary confidential behavioral health evaluation which is offered to employees every 24 months.  This evaluation includes elements related to behavioral health, and may include areas such as stress, financial difficulties, family problems, substance abuse, weight management, tobacco use, and assistance with any of these problems for an immediate family member.
