About Us

The Mission of Newport County Community Mental Health Center, Inc., is the provision of quality, comprehensive, professional behavioral health services to individuals, to families, and to the community that: incorporate the principles and values of recovery orientation in service delivery; that are culturally sensitive and competent in application; and that are in accordance with regulatory, licensing, and ethical standards.

NCCMHC is a private, nonprofit organization that serves Newport County. We were established in 1964 to provide mental health care and treatment to people living and/or working in Jamestown, Little Compton, Middletown, Newport, Portsmouth and Tiverton.

Our programs and services offer people with serious mental illness the opportunity to remain in their own community and benefit from sustained psychiatric treatment. We offer mentally ill individuals the chance to achieve a better quality of life and a new sense of independence.

NCCMHC is financed by federal, state and municipal funds, special grants, client fees, Medicaid, private insurance reimbursements and donations. Local-state matching grants help subsidize free care.

Our staff includes psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, case managers, psychologists, mental health counselors, substance abuse specialists, rehabilitation counselors, and supportive personnel who provide comprehensive , professional mental health services both individually and as a team.

Our logo was introduced in 2003 and was created by Bordlemay Design Studio of Newport. It was important that our symbol portray the spirit of the NCCMHC Mission. The six-pointed leaf represents the six communities that we serve and the pyramid is the universal symbol for unity, coherence and collaboration. We thank Bordlemay Design Studio for creating an image both beautiful and inspiring.
