Behavioral Health Home (BHH)
Behavioral Health Home (BHH) is a community-based care coordination service for eligible children and adults with MaineCare. It is not an actual place or residential home. Instead, a Care Coordinator helps bring together the behavioral health, medical, educational, and community supports that are important to you or your family under one coordinated plan.
How BHH Can Help
Your Care Coordinator will listen to what matters to you, help you set goals, connect you with helpful resources, and work with the people involved in your or your child’s care. Depending on your needs, this may include coordinating with doctors, therapists, schools, community programs, and trusted people in your support network. Your BHH team may also include a Nurse Care Manager, clinical and medical consultants, and peer support. Children and families may have access to family and youth peer support, while adults may work with a peer who has relevant lived experience.
Is BHH Right for You or Your Family?
BHH may be a good fit for an adult with a qualifying mental health diagnosis or for a child or young adult under age 21 with a qualifying mental health, autism, or developmental diagnosis. The person must have MaineCare and meet the program’s eligibility requirements.
What You Can Expect
You will have at least one BHH in person visit each month, with additional contact based on your or your child’s needs and plan. Your Care Coordinator will stay connected throughout the month through visits, phone calls, telehealth, referrals, advocacy, and follow-up with providers or community resources. In-person visits may take place in your home or another appropriate community setting.
