Clifford Beers Community Health Partners

What Clifford Beers Community Health Partners does

Clifford Beers Community Health Partners (CBCHP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit managed services organization headquartered at 41 Marne Street, Hamden, Connecticut, that operates as the parent entity of three wholly-owned affiliated nonprofits: Clifford Beers Community Care Center (New Haven County outpatient mental health), Youth Continuum (statewide youth homelessness prevention and housing services), and Mid-Fairfield Community Care Center (Mid-Fairfield County community mental health, operating for over 60 years). CBCHP was officially launched in May 2022 to consolidate back-office functions across the network through its Managed Services Program (MSP), which provides centralized human resources, accounting, billing, technology support, legal, marketing, communications, compliance, and facilities management services so that affiliate organizations can focus on direct client service delivery rather than administrative overhead.

The organization's service portfolio spans the full continuum of behavioral health and social care for Connecticut children, adolescents, young adults, and families, including outpatient mental health therapy, psychiatry, autism and developmental disability services, Child First programs, community support teams, mobile crisis response, school-based services, intensive outpatient programming, in-home programs, extended day treatment, and victim's assistance. Youth Continuum operates crisis housing, street outreach, basic-needs support, case management, counseling, education and employment support, permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, and victim services — all of which are provided free of charge without insurance requirements. The network follows a holistic care philosophy addressing emotional, physical, social, and spiritual wellness.

CBCHP's business model is nonprofit and depends on a mix of insurance reimbursement (including Medicaid), state and federal grants, and donor contributions (channeled through its donate page and donor outreach). Pricing is bifurcated: Youth Continuum services are entirely free, while Mid-Fairfield Community Care Center functions as a safety-net provider offering affordable mental health services, including extended evening hours. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors led by President Thomas Sansone, Esq., with day-to-day operations directed by a full executive team including CEO Alice Forrester, PhD; COO Lauren Weibrecht, LPC; CFO Grace Austin; and Chief Business Development Officer Yari Ijeh, LMSW. The parent does not publicly disclose consolidated revenue figures.
