History
Northern Human Services grew out of an effort in 1970 by White Mountain Community Services (Littleton), North Country Community Services (Berlin) and Carroll County Mental Health Services (Conway) to establish a comprehensive community mental health center in northern New Hampshire. A fourth clinic, Upper Connecticut Valley Mental Health Service (Colebrook), serving the furthermost northern corner of Coos County, was brought in as a sub-contractor of North Country Community Services. In January 1977 their application as an equal status member in the Agency was adopted.
In April 1979, a single corporation, Northern Human Services, was formed as a result of the merger of Androscoggin Valley Mental Health Center, Upper Connecticut Valley Mental Health Service, White Mountain Mental Health Center and Carroll County Mental Health Service.
