Community health centers that receive federal funding would be required to offer mental health, behavioral health, and substance abuse treatment services to their patients. This would expand access to these services for low-income and underserved communities that often struggle to find affordable mental health care. The requirement aims to integrate mental health treatment with primary medical care at the local level.
