About the National Council
Every day, more than 1,400 member organizations of the National Council for Community Behavioral Healthcare reach out to nearly 6 million adults, children, and families with mental illnesses and addiction disorders to give them a chance to lead productive lives, while treating each and every one with dignity, respect, and cultural sensitivity.
As a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) association, the National Council offers a critical safety net to our nation’s poorest and most vulnerable citizens. We support our members’ work by advocating for policies that help the people they serve receive accessible, high-quality care. The National Council offers state-of-the-science education in the areas of leadership and workforce development; change management and quality improvement processes; information technology; financing; and research based business and clinical practices.
We envision a nation where everyone has access to effective mental health and addictions treatment and the supports essential to live, work, learn, and participate fully in their communities.
