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
THUMBS UP for a successful COVID vaccination clinic held at CLM on Saturday, April 24. In all, 125 individuals drove, biked or walked in to get their shots!
Thank you to CLM’s Amy Izzett and Colleen Monks from the South Central NH Public Health Network for their lead on coordination. Also thanks to the NH Department of Health and Human Services, members of the New Hampshire Army National Guard, GENOA pharmacy vaccinators and volunteers from CLM staff who were all part of the team effort making it happen!
A second large onsite clinic (for second doses only) is scheduled for Saturday, May 22 from 9 am to 4 pm. We will also continue to hold small onsite clinics at CLM Derry in coordination with GENOA pharmacy as vaccination doses are available.
