BestSelf Behavioral Health

Therapy is a tool to help you ask the right questions. It's here to help you process things in ways you may not have considered. Therapy is another avenue for healing and there are many types of therapy. If one therapist and their method doesn't resonate with you, please try another one.  Materials developed through Cooperative Agreement #H79SM087554 and in partnership with the NYS Office of Mental Health.

Empowering young minds! 🧠💚 Last week, we teamed up with more than 100 Ellicott Elementary fifth graders to dive into mental health activities as part of the Buffalo Bills and BestSelf Play 60 program. From crafting worry monster boxes and aromatherapy rollers to writing affirmations and gratitude letters, these students are learning to prioritize their mental well-being.
