Behavioral Health
Because everyone deserves a safe and welcoming place to call home.
The goal of Volunteers of America Northern New England Behavioral Health Services is to foster the principles of normalization, psychosocial rehabilitation, and community integration for people with severe mental illness. Specifically, a team of trained and caring staff members at each residence helps residents learn to cope with the challenges of everyday living by developing daily living skills, maintaining counseling, obtaining education regarding mental illness, improving, and learning how to manage symptoms, with an individual rehabilitation and treatment plan. For many of these individuals, it is a major step to greater independence.

Intensive Residential Housing & Treatment
In the tradition of our founders and our faith-based values, we believe that all individuals should be treated with respect and dignity and receive the individualized supports they need to live in their community.
