Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic
Seven Counties Services is a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC)
What is a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic?
The CCBHC program was created by the Excellence in Mental Health Act, which was signed into law in 2014 with the purpose of improving access to and quality of mental health and substance use services in the United States. CCBHCs are community-based clinics that provide a comprehensive range of mental health and substance use services. These clinics must meet certain requirements and standards in order to become certified, including providing 24/7 crisis care, providing care regardless of ability to pay, and coordinating care with other healthcare providers.

Addressing Social Determinants of Health
CCBHCs can also help to address social determinants of health, such as housing insecurity, food insecurity, and poverty, which can have a significant impact on an individual’s health and well-being.
Overall
CCBHCs provide a range of community benefits that can help to improve the health and well-being of individuals in the community.
