The Chautauqua Center has landed a $600,000 federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for expansion of behavioral health services in the region. The grant, issued through the HHS Behavioral Health Service Expansion program, was announced Monday by Congressman Nick Langworthy. According to HHS, the program aims to improve access to mental health care by funding treatment services at Community Health Centers in underserved areas. Funding issues through the Behavioral Health Service Expansion program enables health centers to increase their staff, broaden their service offerings, and enhance care for individuals struggling with mental health issues, including substance abuse disorders.
