    Addressing the nation’s ongoing mental health and substance use crises requires innovative solutions. The Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) model provides community-based clinics with the flexibility to expand their services and deliver comprehensive, high-quality care to those in need. The National Council for Mental Wellbeing has been a strong advocate for this model since its inception, collaborating with states and clinics to facilitate implementation and promote its continued expansion across the country.

    We are excited to host our inaugural CCBHC Forum at NatCon25. Designed for state health officials, policymakers, CCBHCs, advocacy groups, researchers and other stakeholders, this full-day event will feature insights from leading national experts on the current landscape of CCBHC implementation and a vision for the future of mental health and substance use treatment.

    The CCBHC Forum will include joint programming with our Crisis Response Services Summit, exploring how the CCBHC model enhances effective crisis systems. We encourage CCBHC grantees to participate in the morning sessions before joining the SAMHSA CCBHC Expansion Preconference convening in the afternoon. The day will conclude with a joint reception alongside attendees of the Crisis Response Services Summit.
