When Behavioral Health Funding Is Cut, the Berkshires Pay the Price
The Brien Center is the leading provider of behavioral health services in Berkshire County — but funding cuts are putting vital care at risk.
When programs lose support, our neighbors face longer wait times, fewer clinicians, and fewer options for mental health and addiction care.
These cuts don’t save money — they shift the cost to hospitals, jails, and families.
Investing in behavioral health today prevents crises tomorrow and keeps our community strong.
Stand with the Brien Center.
Help protect the lifelines that save lives every day.

They view this work as way more than a job. Our clinicians love what they do and are dedicated to the people they help.
