Behavioral addictions aren’t always easy to recognize, but they can significantly impact mental health, relationships, and daily life. 💙 Support and education matter.

What makes them challenging? These behaviors don’t just feel rewarding in the moment, they can gradually rewire habits, making it harder to stop even when there are negative consequences.

Signs may include:
• Loss of control
• Increasing time spent despite harm
• Disruptions to work, school, or relationships

The Mischer Behavioral Health Resource Center connects you to trusted, evidence-based resources, including:
🌟 Educational resources on addiction and behavioral health
🌟 Guided support to find treatment and providers using Grace, our friendly AI assistant
