The goal of New Futures' Children's Behavioral Health Program is to support and strengthen a comprehensive and integrated System of Care for children and youth who experience behavioral health challenges in New Hampshire.  The system of care is youth and family-driven, community-based, culturally and linguistically competent, and trauma-informed.
