Behavioral Health Network, Inc. (BHN) recently held a Grand Opening Celebration for its new Ware Family Resource Center location at 82 Main Street. The Center was previously located at 78 Main Street in Ware and has now moved to a new, larger facility that provides more space for its programs to serve youth and families in Western Massachusetts.


The grand opening event featured a program with remarks by BHN President and CEO Steve Winn; BHN Senior Vice President Katherine Mague; Ware Family Resource Center Program Director Amy Breton; Sheriff Cahillane; Representative Smola; Director of Community and Family Engagement at Massachusetts DCF Jose Monteiro; District Attorney Sullivan; and Aide to Senator Ryan Fattman Amanda Hellyar. Attendees were also able to tour the new facility.


The FRC provides free support and access to community resources for families and their children in Western Massachusetts. Center programming is designed to help children develop social and emotional skills; brings people together for mutual support; links families to services and community opportunities; responds to family crises; and values and supports parents and strengthens parenting skills. 


Steve Winn, BHN’s President and CEO, said, “We are pleased as an organization to open this new, larger facility as we grow to meet the needs of families in Ware and the region. Being here for our community is critically important. Our new larger facility, right on Main Street, helps us really be here when you need us!” 


In addition to assisting families with finding resources, FRCs support families with youth who are at risk of needing court involvement because of their behavior. A main goal of FRCs is to serve as a diversion from the court system. 


The Ware Family Resource Center is part of a statewide network of FRCs that help families and individuals resolve challenges, strengthen their bonds, connect to others, and engage in their communities. FRCs are supported through funding from the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF).

We are honored to share that Behavioral Health Network has received the 2025 Workforce Development Leadership Award from the MassHire Franklin Hampshire Workforce Board at their annual meeting on June 5th. This recognition highlights a project created in response to a growing workforce crisis in behavioral health. Rising demand for mental health and substance use services - especially in rural areas - has outpaced the supply of trained professionals, leaving too many without timely access to care.

BHN has assumed operations of six substance use disorder (SUD) treatment programs in Somerville, Brockton, Attleboro, Hyannis, Lawrence, and Haverhill MA. These centers continue to offer essential services including medication for opioid use disorder, counseling and case management to individuals currently in care and anyone in the surrounding communities seeking support for opioid use disorder. To mark this important milestone, BHN is hosting a series of Grand Opening Celebrations.
