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
Team CLM was among the more than 2,000 walkers who hit the streets in Concord on Sunday, October 6 for the 2019 NAMI NH Walk. The event raised more than $147,000 with a mission to end the stigma surrounding suicide and spreading awareness about mental health. The size of the crowd certainly reinforced to anyone affected by mental illness that “you are not alone”!
Thank you to our team of walkers (two-legged and four-legged! Also, special thanks to our Art from the Heart therapy group for the wonderful design on our team t-shirt this year!
