About Us
At DBMHS, our behavioral health staff support individuals and families make positive lifestyle changes to improve their health and well-being. We create plans to manage health challenges and diagnoses. We administer nine outpatient treatment centers across Arizona in Chinle, Dilkon, Fort Defiance, Kaibeto, Kayenta, Newlands, Red Mesa and Tuba City. In addition, we administer two outpatient centers in Crownpoint and Gallup, New Mexico, and one residential treatment center in Shiprock, New Mexico.
We build coalitions and networks across the Navajo Nation, establish local crisis response/postvention teams, educate groups and individuals to identify the signs/symptoms of suicide, and offer programs to reduce the risks of suicide and substance use.
