2025 Goals:
NHCBHA’s overarching goal is to raise awareness about the crucial role that community-based mental health centers have in ensuring quality services for our patients. In addition, the Association advocates for a strong mental health system across the Granite State. In 2025, the Association will focus advocacy efforts on the ongoing financial sustainability needed to ensure the delivery of essential mental health services and the comprehensive improvements in care that are proven to be effective.
Philanthropy & Community Development:
As independent nonprofit organizations, each of the 10 CMHCs annually raise critical dollars through individual donations, corporate sponsorships and foundation grants to subsidize costs and generate unrestricted revenue. In addition, the CMHCs plan and host regional events throughout the year that help to educate community members and reduce stigma.
