What Mental Health Center of North Central Alabama does

Mental Health Center of North Central Alabama is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community mental health center established in 1967 under the Federal Community Mental Health Center Act and Alabama Act 310, incorporated in 1982 as the North Central Alabama Mental Health Board, Inc. and rebranded to its current name in 1995. It is the only community-based mental health provider in North Central Alabama, serving adults, children, adolescents, families, and the geriatric population across Lawrence, Limestone, and Morgan counties through five clinic locations (Decatur-Morgan Counseling Center, Albany Clinic for Children, Athens-Limestone Counseling Center, Athens-Limestone Youth Counseling, Moulton-Lawrence Counseling Center) plus embedded services at schools, nursing homes, and courthouses. Its core product portfolio comprises Counseling Services (Master's-level counselors and social workers supervised by licensed psychiatrists), Psychiatric Services (assessment and medication management by medical doctors with psychiatric training), and Wrap-Around Services (case management, transportation, residential programs, in-home treatment, on-site school services), with add-on modules for co-occurring substance abuse treatment, the Options Geriatric Program, and transitional and permanent housing programs.

The center is staffed by approximately 140 personnel including psychiatrists, nurses, clinicians, licensed social workers, licensed professional counselors, case managers, and support staff. The underlying technology is a standard mental health services platform with no proprietary systems; delivery is supported by a website (mhcnca.org), an online client portal, and Zoom-based telehealth under the "Connect by Video" offering. Revenue is derived from insurance reimbursements, government contracts, fee-for-service payments, and United Way partner-agency funding (United Way of Athens & Limestone County and United Way of Morgan County). During 2023 the organization reported providing treatment services to over 3,525 children and adults. Governance rests with a volunteer Board of Directors appointed by elected officials from the municipalities of Athens, Decatur, Hartselle, and Moulton and the counties of Lawrence, Limestone, and Morgan.
