Florida Council for Community Mental Health

What Florida Council for Community Mental Health does

Florida Council for Community Mental Health (FCCMH) is a Florida-based nonprofit trade association serving the state's community behavioral health provider community. The entity traces to a 1958 incorporation promoting the welfare of persons with behavioral health disorders; in 2018 FCCMH merged with the Florida Alcohol and Drug Abuse Association (FADAA, founded 1981) to form the Florida Behavioral Health Association (FBHA), now positioned as the largest statewide trade association representing community treatment providers for mental illness and substance use disorders.

FBHA's core products and services center on advocacy, training, and member convening rather than proprietary technology. The portfolio includes the Florida LMS for Behavioral Health (hosted at FloridaLearner.org), a Webinar Training Library, Child Welfare & Family Court Training, the annual Florida Behavioral Health Conference, the FBHA Awards of Excellence recognition program (held annually 2019–2024), and a legislative arm — the Action for Behavioral Health Care (ABC) political committee — that lobbies at the Florida Capitol. The underlying technology stack is a standard web presence on floridabha.org plus a hosted learning management system; no proprietary AI or data products are described.

The business model is a membership-based, community-led GTM with two primary segments: Organizational Membership for community mental health and substance use disorder treatment providers, and Corporate/Business Partner Membership for industry vendors and sponsors. Revenue is generated through recurring membership dues and sponsorship fees; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The organization is operated by a small staff of approximately 5 employees out of a Tallahassee headquarters (316 East Park Avenue), and is governed by a board chaired by Scott Burgess, CEO of David Lawrence Centers.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• American Psychological Association (APA): National professional organization for psychologists with overlapping behavioral health advocacy and CE/training offerings; broader in scope (research, practice, education) than FBHA's community-provider focus.
• National Association of Social Workers (NASW): Large professional association representing social workers, many of whom work in community behavioral health; overlaps with FBHA's advocacy and training remit but is a clinician-led, broader profession society.
• American Psychiatric Association (APA): Larger professional society for psychiatrists with overlapping behavioral health policy interests and continuing education offerings, but serves individual clinicians rather than community provider organizations.

Direct peers

• Mental Health America (MHA): National community-based nonprofit advocating for mental health awareness, policy, and services; overlaps with FBHA's community mental health advocacy and training mission, though MHA is broader in scope.
• NAADAC, the Association for Addiction Professionals: National membership organization focused on addiction and substance use disorder professionals and treatment providers; directly comparable to FBHA's FADAA legacy division covering SUD treatment advocacy and training.
• National Council for Mental Wellbeing: National trade association for community behavioral health providers (formerly National Council for Behavioral Health); FBHA operates as a state-level Florida counterpart with the same provider-advocacy, training, and policy-influence model.
• National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers (NAATP): Trade association for addiction treatment providers offering advocacy, ethics standards, and professional development; closely mirrors FBHA's role representing Florida community SUD treatment providers.

Regional players

• Ohio Council of Behavioral Health & Family Services Providers: State-level trade association for community behavioral health providers in Ohio with a parallel provider-advocacy, training, and conference model to FBHA — a direct structural twin in a different state.
