Women's Behavioral Health

The Georgia Health Sciences University's Women's Behavioral Health Program is designed to address the unique mental health needs of women through clinical services and educational programs. Women have mental health needs that are often different from those of men. Compared to men, women have more stressful life experiences, are more likely to be the victims of abuse or assault, and are more likely to experience depression or anxiety. The Women's Behavioral Health clinical programs focus on mental health concerns that are more common in women, or that affect women differently than men. Services include consultation services as well as individual and group psychotherapy.

Educational programs are designed to inform both professionals and the public regarding women's mental health issues. The MCG Psychology Training Program includes a specialty track in the psychology of women for training doctoral level psychology residents in the unique mental health needs of women. Other educational programs are offered throughout the year for medical residents, professionals, and the public.
