BHN recognizes the efforts of our dedicated team of clinicians and access navigators involved in the Community Mental Health Centers (CMHC) grant program from January 2022 to September 2024. This initiative served as a precursor to the Community Behavioral Health Center (CBHC), allowing us to pilot team-based care. By pairing clinicians with access navigators, they were able to support clients with therapy and address social needs like housing and food insecurity, leading to improved client outcomes and higher staff satisfaction.
