Application for Membership
We invite you to join the New Mexico Behavioral Health Providers Association to connect with the New Mexico behavioral health provider network. Gain access to vital resources and advocacy, voicing your concerns, issues, and ideas with providers, state agencies, MCO’s building connections and visibility in the behavioral health community.
Benefits of membership
In recent years, we've seen attention to behavioral health skyrocket. The 2025 NM legislative session included dozens of important bills affecting behavioral health, and your NMHPA members and lobbyist team were there for all of them. In Washington DC, the National Council for Mental Well-Being is intensely engaged in advocacy to support behavioral health nationwide, and to protect Medicaid and Medicare spending on behavioral healthcare. Your membership in the NMBHPA means you'll hear about all these issues and have the opportunity to weigh in on behalf of your staff, clients and patients.
- Networking and Resource Sharing: Connect with over 65 publicly funded behavioral healthcare providers in New Mexico. Participate in meetings presented by NMBHPA on State, MCOs, providers, and agency announcements, alerts, and updates.
- Advocacy and Representation: NMBHPA provides behavioral health policy and strong legislative advocacy. Be part of a collective voice advocating for the interests of behavioral health providers in New Mexico.
- Visibility: Increase visibility within the behavioral health community and potential clients.
