Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs)‍

FQHCs often (but not always) offer mental health services in addition to care for other parts of physical health and wellness.

CCBHCs are centers specifically focused on providing mental & behavioral health services. Both types of organizations are dedicated to providing accessible and low-cost care to anyone who needs it.
