Hear it From Our Staff and Interns

Group of people conversing around a laptop regarding their careers
CBH has been my work home for just over 10 years. In that 10 years, I have be given many opportunities to advance and have felt support in my desire to remain with the agency, but move up within it. The management team takes the time to get to know the employees and make me feel like I am part of a big CBH family. I truly love working for CBH and the support I feel from the agency.

Leadership at CBH that sets the tone for the agency; that Community Mental Health is first and last, about the community. Colonial Behavioral stands out in its advocacy for those who need care, support and a voice. I've working in behavioral healthcare for 34 years now and I'm proud to be with CBH.

Adult Outpatient Services Staff
I enjoy working at CBH because in my experience, my dedication and hard work has always been noticed and praised. I always feel like I'm valued and an asset to the departments I work for.
Support Services Staff
Due to the fact that this agency is so small, the employee has the ability to learn a lot and can develop nice working relationships with their coworkers.
Information Services Staff
One of the first things that impressed me about CBH (and a reason why I accepted the job offer) was the number of employees who worked here that had spent 20+ years of their careers at CBH. That on its own speaks volumes about a workplace. The people we serve. It's often overlooked, especially for staff who aren't facing the consumers on a daily basis but at the end of the day it's nice to know that we really are changing consumers lives for the better. My coworkers. Probably the most important reason why I enjoy working at CBH. I've always appreciated the 'work group' mentality that is a part of CBH culture, where staff from multiple programs are involved in achieving common goals.
