The Brien Center’s Programs and Services are "Community Based"
Our agency is organized around four divisions that address the behavioral health needs of Berkshire County residents using a "community-based care" model. Community-based care dates back to 1963, when President John F. Kennedy signed into law the Community Mental Health Act, which drastically changed the way mental health services were delivered and inspired hope and a new vision of care for the mentally ill. The law ushered in a new era wherein people who had previously been residents of hospitals and institutions for the mentally and emotionally ill were returned to their communities and treated via community mental health centers.
The Brien Center is dedicated to providing the residents of Berkshire County with quality, affordable, accessible mental health and addiction services that are delivered in the community, where people live, work, shop, worship, go to school, raise their families, and participate in a quality community lifestyle. The people we serve deserve no less than to be valued as integral members of our community. With over 27 locations throughout Berkshire County, treatment and services are conveniently available to all Berkshire County residents.
