Our mission

Our mission is to support the well-being of Maine children and families by improving access to behavioral health services and strengthening how those services work together. We focus on:

  • Helping families connect to the right services
  • Supporting providers and community partners
  • Improving coordination across the system
  • Ensuring services are accessible and effective

How Maine supports children's behavioral health

Children's Behavioral Health Services (CBHS) is part of the Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). CBHS helps coordinate a statewide system of care designed to support children, youth, and families. While services are delivered by providers across Maine, CBHS works behind the scenes to improve access, strengthen coordination, and ensure the system works effectively for families.
