Resources for Mental Health

Knowledge About Mental Health is Essential

At the Sylvia Brafman Mental Health Center, we believe that being informed about your condition and the most effective treatments available for it are essential to successful recovery. This is why we strive to educate our patients and their loved ones as part and parcel of the care we provide here. In our experience, an informed patient is a more successful and happy patient.

Patients and families who are well-informed about mental illnesses are more capable of advocating for their needs. At SBMHC we also believe that treatment is also more effective when the recipient understands the purpose of treatment methods and how they work.

The team at SBMHC believes strongly that more education and awareness about mental illnesses in our society is the key to progress and better outcomes for all. Taking a proactive role in spreading knowledge and awareness is a responsibility we take very seriously. SBMHC is dedicated to improving access to mental health treatment and reducing any stigma associated with mental illnesses.
