NC DHHS Announces Critical Access Behavioral Health Agency (CABHA)

DHHS Secretary Lanier M. Cansler is joined by mental health experts, advocates and educators from across the state, for the rollout of the new Critical Access Behavioral Health Agency (CABHA) that became operational on Jan.1 and replaces the Community Support Program.

CABHA is part of the ongoing effort to further improve mental health services that DHHS provides in community settings. It will place greater emphasis on a solid clinical and medical basis for mental health services and assure and monitor that services that were overused in the past are better managed and controlled.
