Behavorial Health Treatment

MSPCC is one of the largest outpatient Medicaid mental health treatment providers in Massachusetts, providing mental health treatment to nearly 16,000 children and adults every year.  Mental health disorders in children and adolescents can interfere with the way they think, feel, and act.  If left untreated, these disorders can lead to school failure, family conflicts, drug abuse, violence, and even suicide.

MSPCC offers a wide range of mental health treatment services.  Both in the home and in community-based centers, MSPCC addresses the needs and concerns of multicultural and linguistic minority families with a culturally-diverse staff, bilingual services, cultural understanding, and more.
