Central Minnesota Mental Health Center

Central Minnesota Mental Health Center (CMMHC) operates as a community mental health provider in the central region of Minnesota. The organization delivers mental health services that include counseling, psychiatric care, and crisis support for individuals and families. It also offers programs focused on substance use treatment, trauma‑informed therapy, and services for children and adolescents. CMMHC serves residents of its catchment area across the lifespan, aiming to improve access to behavioral health care. Its clinicians work in outpatient settings.

The organization is headquartered in the United States, with its administrative offices located in central Minnesota. As a designated community mental health center, CMMHC is subject to state licensing and may hold accreditation from behavioral health oversight bodies. In September 2021, CMMHC experienced a phishing attack that compromised email accounts and exposed personal and medical information of 28,725 individuals. The breach involved names, addresses, clinical data, Social Security numbers, and driver’s license numbers, and the unauthorized access persisted for several weeks before detection. Following the incident, the center secured the affected accounts and notified impacted individuals in accordance with breach notification requirements.
