Collaborative seeks to overhaul system
The overarching goal of the New Hampshire Children’s Behavioral Health Collaborative is to completely overhaul the way services are delivered to children.
“We’re all in it for the long haul, on the order of 5-10 years,” explains Effie Malley, director.
More than 60 New Hampshire organizations are partners in the Collaborative, which was launched in 2010 and is described by Malley as a “coalition,” rather than a non-profit corporation. The Collaborative is an advocacy group working to transform the children’s behavioral health system and does not provide direct services.
