The PACT team is forensic-focused and is designed to reduce arrests and incarcerations; and also operates a 24-7 group residence for five individuals. Behavioral Health Network is a growing non-profit community behavioral health agency that has been providing services to children, adults, families and communities in Western Massachusetts since 1938.
