We see our mission in action through the people and communities we serve.
Mental and behavioral health concerns among children are common—and addressable. Roughly 1 in 5 children aged 3 to 17 experience a mental, emotional, behavioral, or developmental disorder. The good news? Proven treatments exist. Still, many children and families do not receive the care they need. Families and providers often don’t know where to find effective services. There are not enough trained providers to meet the demand. That's where we come in.
The Center for Children's Behavioral Health was created to strengthen New Hampshire's children's health system by improving access, building capacity, and providing direct support.
Hear directly from individuals, families, and partners who’ve experienced our impact firsthand. Their stories, alongside the numbers, reflect the heart of our mission: improving behavioral health by advancing effective practices, fostering collaboration, and transforming systems of care.
