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.
