Dear friends and colleagues of community mental health,
The New Hampshire House of Representatives has adopted and narrowly passed the State budget for Fiscal Years 2026 and 2027. The budget process now moves to the Senate, where deliberations are underway. We are hopeful the Senate will recognize the critical need to restore essential funding to ensure continued support for individuals across the state.
This is a pivotal and challenging time for New Hampshire’s Community Mental Health Centers. The funding cuts included in the House version of the budget risk a significant step backward for mental health care in our state.
Please find below, link to a memorandum that outlines the serious challenges we face as a community and the potential consequences of the proposed reductions.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter and for your continued support of mental health services in New Hampshire.
Respectfully,
NH Community Behavioral Health Association
Our Drive-In Benefit Concert was a success and great fun! We raised $16,636 to support the Center for Life Management Foundation and providing mental health services for un- and under-insured children and adults.
It was a challenge this year because of COVID-19 restrictions, but we rolled with the changes and made it a Drive-In Concert as well as a livestreamed event. Special thanks to Scott and Julie Hayward and the fantastic team at Tupelo Music Hall!
Our appreciation and BIG THANK YOU to our sponsors: CGI Benefit Solutions, People’s United Bank, Anthem BlueCross BlueShield, Boston Retirement Advisors, Derry Neurological Associates, Genoa Healthcare, Pentucket Bank, Wellsense, Wisehart Wimette, Betley Chevrolet, Derry Friendship Center, Edward C. David & Co, Enterprise Bank, Trivantus. And for the support of RAM Printing, ButlerGraphics and FrankFM!
