What is Behavioral Health?
Behavioral health is generally described as the connection between behaviors and the health and well-being of the mind and body. It encompasses how our experiences impact our behaviors and those behaviors impact our overall health. Most commonly the disciples of psychiatry and psychology practice in the realm of behavioral health, however, other disciplines such as occupational therapy, nutritionists, nurses, as well as many other disciplines may play a role in behavioral health.
About Our Logo
For those who are curious, the Lukas Behavioral Health logo is comprised the Greek letters Psi and Lambda surrounded by an Enso circle. The Greek letter Psi is a common symbol for psychiatry and the Greek letter Lambda is equivalent to the English letter 'L'. The 'Enso' is a Zen Buddhist symbol sometimes referred to as the 'circle of togetherness'. The Enso is a manifestation of the artist at the moment of creation and represents the acceptance of our innermost self. It also symbolizes strength, elegance, and one-mindedness.
