CONCORD â The New Hampshire Community Behavioral Health Association (CBHA), comprised of the ten community mental health centers (CMHCs) in NH, is hosting many virtual events and supports during national Mental Health Awareness Month throughout the month of May. CBHA and the CMHCs are highlighting a wide variety of mental and behavioral health topics throughout these events, which offers something that will interest all age groups and interests.
This year more than ever, the need for awareness around mental health supports is all the more critical after more than a year of COVID-19. In order to help support the greater Granite State community, CBHA is always striving to reduce the stigma around mental healthcare, as well as educating where and how to seek supports. All ten CMHCs have worked tirelessly to provide care throughout the pandemic and continue to do so.
