The Black Behavioral Health Network was founded in March of 2017.  The Black Behavioral Health Network is  committed to bringing support, hope and healing to those facing significant life challenges. Our method is to utilize existing community services while providing a safe and sober residential option to help clients get their lives back. With increasing resources, support and growing community awareness, we are able to change the lives of transitional black populations for the better.

BBHNI aims to provide comprehensive and culturally sensitive behavioral health services to individuals seeking recovery. By addressing service gaps and disparities faced by populations such as veterans, those struggling with addiction, homelessness, or unemployment, BBHNI seeks to empower individuals to reach their full potential. Through a guided recovery journey, BBHNI aims to help individuals become contributing members of their communities, families, and society. Ultimately, BBHNI hopes to reduce recidivism and substance use relapse by leveraging supportive community services and promoting successful outcomes.

BBHNI is committed to providing culturally competent, community-based behavioral health services that address the unique needs of African Americans, BIPOC, and all individuals in Hampden County. We prioritize positive treatment outcomes and a holistic approach to care, ensuring that our services are accessible, affordable, and responsive to the diverse experiences of our clients.
