Supporting People with Brain Injury through Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics

This document discusses Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs) and how they can support individuals with brain injuries.

  • CCBHCs are clinics that provide a wide array of behavioral health and substance use services to anyone, regardless of their diagnosis or whether or not they are insured.

  • These clinics offer nine core services, including crisis services, outpatient behavioral health and substance use services, and community-based behavioral health care for veterans.

  • CCBHCs are funded by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Substance Abuse and MH Services Administration (SAMHSA).

  • There are over 500 CCBHCs and CCBHC grantees in 46 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.

  • The document emphasizes the significant overlap between behavioral health challenges and brain injury, highlighting the importance of CCBHCs in providing support for this population.

The document also provides guidance on:

  • Confirming a state's CCBHC standing.

  • Forging partnerships between brain injury programs and state's CCBHCs.

  • Implementing brain injury screening and supports at CCBHCs.
