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

CLM is excited to announce our 2nd Annual CLM Maker’s Market! Hosted by CLM’s Supported Employment (SE) team, the Maker’s Market supports and showcases the talents, creativity, and hard work of our entrepreneurial and artistic participants.
The Maker’s Market is a delightful marketplace where you can explore and purchase handcrafted artwork and gifts, learn about local small businesses, and food vendors. This event is being held in memory of our beloved colleague, Diedra Kotsakis, who envisioned the Maker’s Market to support the talent and initiative of these diverse entrepreneurs. Diedra was known as “the bright light” by her colleagues/friends on the Supported Employment team. She was a fierce advocate for her clients and brought a kind spirit and calming presence to those around her.
