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.

Chelan Brown, BHN Social Justice Director My family and I traditionally do not partake in getting vaccines. There is a lot to why this is, but mainly because vaccine hesitancy has been a generational pass down to all of us from our elders who had vaccine hesitancy due to a mistrust of governmental vaccines. It has been a very hard journey dealing with COVID-19 for my family, friends, and social network. We have lost people and dealt with hospitalizations as well. Even with that dynamic, we still were “hesitant” to get vaccinated. I say hesitant, but really it was more of a fear. Throughout this process, the leadership at BHN has been one of the most supportive teams I have ever worked with. The organization has been very patient, understanding, and respectful of my decision. I am happy to say that two weeks ago, after attending a COVID-19 Vaccination Hesitancy session, I decided to get vaccinated and feel it was the best choice for my family. In fact, my husband went to the BHN clinic to get vaccinated as well. I would like to send a formal THANK YOU to the team at BHN's vaccine clinics for my experience and for serving our communities, especially our vulnerable ones, with such dignity, care, and concern…a true testament of our social justice commitment and work. I was treated so well at my appointment and my experience with each staff member I came in contact with or watched work with patients was second to none! One more thing to note that I didn’t mention, with every person that walked in to get vaccinated while I was there, there seemed to be an air of excitement and hope from the staff there. Can’t quite explain it, but I’ve never really seen a team of staff waiting anxiously and excitedly to get people signed in and served! It was truly incredible to see!
