About

Bay-Arenac Behavioral Health Authority (BABH) is a community mental health authority created in 2001 by the Bay and Arenac County Boards of Commissioners under MI Complied Laws 330.1208. BABH manages behavioral health  services in Arenac & Bay Counties for persons with the most severe forms of serious mental illness, intellectual/developmental disabilities and severe emotional disturbances. BABH directly provides and contracts with local behavioral health providers to secure the services needed in each county.

Although BABH is often considered an instrument of the local counties, it is still a separate, legal governmental entity with its own publicly appointed board of directors.
