Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC)
annual grant over two years from the Substance Abuse and

and improve access to behavioral health care.

to help reduce current client barriers to access and expand our
behavioral health care capacity for our at-risk and underserved
populations.”

us to recruit, train and retain highly qualified staff in order to
increase our service array and decrease wait time for clients.”
