New Initiative Memo 1/08: TAFDC Massachusetts Behavioral Health Partnership (MBHP) Referrals

Beginning February 1, 2008, DTA will partner with Massachusetts Behavioral Health Partnership (MBHP) and Clinical and Support Options (a service provider of MBHP) to give our clients with behavioral health symptoms such as, mild to moderate depression and/or anxiety additional access to screenings, assessments and support services. The goal of this initiative is to help these clients overcome barriers to meeting the work program requirement and become employable. This new initiative will initially be offered in the Springfield Liberty TAO through June 30, 2008. If successful, this initiative will be expanded to the Worcester TAO and then statewide.
