NORTHWEST BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES INC

Northwest Behavioral Health Services, Inc. (NWBH) is a private, not-for-profit behavioral health provider chartered in Florida in 1992 and based in Jacksonville. The organization is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) and is state-certified and licensed to provide mental health and substance use services.

NWBH offers a range of services for children, adults and families including outpatient psychiatric counseling and therapy, targeted case management, psychosocial rehabilitation, supportive housing for people with disabilities, telehealth, and specialized services for the deaf and hard of hearing. The agency operates a trauma-focused crisis hotline and a mobile crisis response team to provide rapid intervention and community-based alternatives to hospitalization.

In recent years NWBH has continued to expand community-facing programs and fundraising activities (including an annual Ken Amaro Bowtie Golf Classic) and has participated in state-funded contracts and managed-care provider networks to maintain access to services for underserved populations. The organization reports serving thousands of adults and children each year through its outpatient, community support, and crisis services.
