Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic

COMHAR is now a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic or CCBHC. For persons living with both behavioral health and physical health challenges, we provide and coordinate all of the services and supports you need to reach your physical, mental, and whole-person wellness. Like all of COMHAR’s services, these services are person-centered, recovery-oriented, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive.

As a CCBHC participant, you will work with a team of providers who will support you in achieving and maximizing your overall wellness so that you will be able to reach your goals in all areas of your life. This team can include a psychiatrist, a therapist, a care coordinator, a nurse, a peer specialist, a dietitian/nutritionist, and any other supports you might need.

The CCBHC approach includes mental and physical health services and supports provided by one team; primary care screening to ensure any possible health issues are identified and addressed; support from a care coordinator who will ensure you are connected to all services and supports you need and help coordinate those services to ensure your needs and goals are addressed; and assessments to help track your progress over time.

At COMHAR, we consider you to be the primary expert on yourself and what you need for your wellness. Therefore, as a new member, your team of supports will work with you to develop and implement a comprehensive goal plan that focuses on your self-chosen goals related to mental and physical wellness and considers your strengths and culture. We will also work with you to develop a crisis plan to ensure you have the skills and supports you need to get through life’s hard days.
