We want to hear from you! As the state‑contracted Community Behavioral Health Center (CBHC) for lower Hampden County, BHN is hosting community listening sessions to hear directly from community members about their experiences, needs, and barriers to accessing care. Thank you to the City of Springfield Department of Health and Human Services for their partnership.


These sessions are a space to share, listen, and learn together. No preparation is needed — just your perspective. All are welcome.


If you’re unable to attend, we also invite you to share your feedback through our online feedback form.
