Northern Human Services

For over 40 years, Northern Human Services
has provided quality care to the citizens
of Coos, Carroll and Grafton counties.

Whether it’s comprehensive mental health care, individualized services
for persons with a developmental disability or substance abuse counseling,
we offer timely and professional service.

Designated as Region I by the New Hampshire Bureau of Behavioral Health
and Bureau of Developmental Services,
Northern Human Services, a private non-profit organization, is one of
two agencies in the state designated as a service provider for both
developmental services and mental health services.
Other agencies in the state provide either developmental or
mental health services but not both services as Northern does.

Region I covers over forty percent (40%) of the land area of the state and is
generally sparsely populated. Counties covered include all of Carroll, Coos
and the seventeen (17) towns in Upper Grafton County.

Our Agency grew out of an effort in 1970 by White Mountain Community
Services (Littleton), North Country Community Services (Berlin) and
Carroll County Mental Health Services (Conway) to establish a comprehensive
community mental health center in northern New Hampshire. A fourth clinic,
Upper Connecticut Valley Mental Health Service (Colebrook), serving the
furthermost northern corner of Coos County, was brought in as a sub-contractor
of North Country Community Services. In January 1977 their application as an
equal status member in the Agency was adopted.

In April 1979, a single corporation, Northern Human Services, was formed
as a result of the merger of Androscoggin Valley Mental Health Center, Upper
Connecticut Valley Mental Health Service, White Mountain Mental Health Center
and Carroll County Mental Health Service.

Northern Human Services is looking for individuals
who are interested in supporting the delivery of quality behavioral health,
developmental and substance use disorder treatment services
in the North Country. Making a donation is an important contribution.
It will assist us to assure that viable and responsive services
continue to remain available.
