Volunteer Behavioral Health Care System is pleased to be able to provide this web site. You will find information about both VBHCS and mental health issues. We have tried to anticipate the type and quantity of information that would be useful, through numerous topics and external links. 

The menus along the right are dedicated to resources that you might find helpful if you are seeking specific information regarding our Adult Services, Children and Youth Services, and Alcohol and Drug Services.

For emergency situations, call our 24-hour Crisis Hotline at 1-800-704-2651.
