SUN Behavioral Delaware

Today, our Human Resources Director and Business Development Director attended the Delaware Academy of Medicine and Public Health, Delaware Healthcare Workforce Summit: Focus on Behavioral Health and Rural Health Transformation.

​It was an incredible day filled with powerful conversations, new connections, and key insights into the future of healthcare in our state. One line stood out to us above all:
​"We cannot change what we do not take the time to understand."

​At SUN, this hits right at the heart of our mission. Located in rural Georgetown, Delaware, we are deeply committed to solving unmet mental health and substance use needs in our community. Real transformation starts with listening, learning, and showing up—and we’re proud to be part of the coalition working toward a healthier, more supported Delaware.

​

Behind the scenes, our dedicated staff work hard every day - providing warm, compassionate, supportive care for every individual who comes to us seeking help.

We know, taking care of others starts with a strong, connected team. That's why little celebrations ensure everyone is feelin' flannel-tastic about the amazing difference we're making in the lives and futures of those who need us.

If you're looking to join a team driven by passion and purpose, this is a great time to check out our open positions and fall in love with your new career path: sundelaware.com/careers

Help Is Here

You don’t need to have all the right words to help someone who is struggling. Know the signs and notice changes in their behavior. Ask directly if they are thinking about self-harm. Listen without judgment and stay connected while encouraging them to seek support. In crisis? Call 24/7 to speak to one of our compassionate behavioral health professionals. Brighter days start here.
