Building Bridges in Children’s Mental Health Care (BBCMHC)

Building Bridges in Children’s Mental Health Care (BBCMHC) is a collaboration among MGH Community Health Associates, MGH Revere Health Center, Revere CARES, North Suffolk Mental Health Association, and the Revere Public Schools. The goal of the program is to increase capacity for the delivery of appropriate mental health services to middle school students and to improve integration of all related services. The program focuses on 1) Enhancing communication between front line staff and children’s mental health service providers; 2) Increasing overall knowledge in the community about systems of care; 3) Facilitating and tracking the completion of referrals made to mental health providers from the Middle Schools; and 4) Implementing the Second Step Program (a violence prevention program) in the Middle Schools. BBCMHC is supported by the Blue Cross/Blue Shield Foundation.
