Expansion of community-based behavioral health services for children and youth includes BHN

BOSTON — The Healey-Driscoll Administration announced Wednesday that 36 community service agencies have been selected across the state to provide home- and community-based services for children, including the Behavioral Health Network, who are MassHealth members with behavioral, emotional and mental health needs.

“There is nothing more important than supporting our children during key development years so that can grow into happy and healthy adults, and a critical part of that work involved includes supporting the behavioral, emotional, and mental health needs of all kids regardless of socioeconomic background,” said state Sen. John Velis (D-Westfield) about the administration’s announcement.
