Behavioral Health

At Spirit Lake Behavioral Health, we are a team of psychiatric providers, social workers, peer support, and support staff that work together to provide high quality care to those seeking services for their mental health.

Our Mission

The mission of the Behavioral Health Division is to instill balanced wellness and resilience throughout American Indian communities in partnership with Tribal organizations, as well as the federal, state, and local agencies.

The Center seeks to foster excellence in holistic approaches that promote healthy lifestyles, families, and communities.
