What is a CBHC?
CBHCs are part of Massachusetts’ strategy to expand timely, integrated access to mental health and substance use services in community settings—so people are less likely to bounce between disconnected providers. Exact services and populations served depend on each designated organization.
- Emphasis on access and coordination of behavioral health care
- Often includes pathways for urgent needs, ongoing outpatient care, and connections to other supports
- Designed to complement—not replace—emergency services when someone is in immediate medical danger
Why integrated access matters
Schools, employers, hospitals, and municipalities often need a single, trustworthy link to explain “where to get mental health help.” CBHCs are one part of that ecosystem in Massachusetts.
