Community Mental Health Centers

What is a Licensed Community Mental Health Center?

Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. Mental health problems are common but help is available. People with mental health problems can get better and many recover completely. Treatment and recovery are ongoing processes that happen over time.

Rhode Island’s Community Mental Health Centers provide medical, dental, and behavioral health care services to over 191,000 individuals across the state. There is currently a network of six private, nonprofit licensed community mental health centers, known as CMHCs.
