Nurturing Dreams… Transforming Lives…

It’s what we do every day, with people of all ages, from all walks of life, and especially caring for the most vulnerable among us in our local communities right here in the Upper Valley and Sullivan County. Mental illness and substance use disorders don’t discriminate. They impact people everywhere…at work, at home, in schools, and across state lines. Since 1977, West Central clinicians and staff have worked tirelessly to help nurture people’s dreams and transform their lives for the better.

Please support our work by clicking on the online giving link below, or by making a gift of securities or a legacy gift.

Donate to West Central

Even as parts of our local community begin to emerge from lockdown and isolation, we know this remains a stressful time. We continue to care for vulnerable people of all ages who need mental health and substance use treatment. We are doctors, nurses, therapists, case workers, substance use counselors, social workers, and front line responders, in and out of crisis situations. Your gift will help us meet our unanticipated Covid-19-related expenses as demands for our services grow. We remain true to our non-profit mission as a community mental health center, serving vulnerable people of all ages in the Upper Valley and Sullivan County regardless of their financial need. Thank you.

Your tax-deductible donation helps to make mental health care available to all in need. West Central provides over $600,000 in charitable care each year. Your gift makes this possible.
