Baystate Health is transitioning all services at the Griswold Center and Baystate Behavioral Health-Palmer to CHD, a change expected to be effective on August 1, 2026. CHD is honored to be continuing the legacy of outstanding behavioral health services at Griswold and on the Baystate Wing campus, and looks forward to further expanding its longstanding presence in the Quaboag region.

View the VideoCHD offers a broad array of essential services to meet the diverse and unique needs of the individuals and families we serve. In recent years we have expanded our reach with Telehealth, which has improved access to behavioral health care for those who prefer to be served in the comfort of their homes—or who have transportation challenges and work schedule conflicts.
If you are in need of services or have any questions, please call 1-844-CHD-HELP.
CHD continues its commitment to excellence by partnering once again with CARF International, an independent accreditor of human services organizations. CARF surveyors were onsite in the summer of 2024 and the result was CHD earning another three-year accreditation in Behavioral Health, Child and Youth Services, and Employment and Community Services.
“You can feel how CHD cares. They have a stake in everyone who’s getting services and values them as people.”
