CBHC is committed to ending the stigma around reaching out for help when individuals are feeling down or depressed, anxious, suicidal, experiencing a substance use issue, or any other behavioral health issue. We want YOU to know that there is help, and while it may feel frightening to reach out in the moment, it is the best thing you can do for yourself. We care for you and we are working hard to create pathways to hope and eliminate suicide once and for all.
