About Us

Supportive. Compassionate. Professional.

Kennebec Valley Mental Health Center was created in 1960 as the community mental health center of central Maine. In 2007, the agency's name became Kennebec Behavioral Health to better reflect our expanded capabilities and geographic coverage.

Our mission statement is blissfully simple...to promote the well-being of children, adults, and families who experience mental illness, emotional difficulties, or behavioral challenges; we are seeking providers just like you who share the same vision.

Why choose a career with Kennebec Behavioral Health? "I finally found an employer where I want to stay put for as long as possible," said Georgana Prudhomme. She said she liked that KBH is "fiscally solid, has an excellent reputation in the community and at a state level, offers good benefits including time off and holidays, and has a future vision that I can support."

Georgana said she knew of KBH's work from her days in the insurance world "and found KBH to be clinically solid." In her position at KBH, she has "autonomy with guidance, and know I can always request assistance from my supervisor as needed. My supervisor provides positive feedback, has a sense of humor, has extensive clinical expertise that I learn from, is a good role model, treats me with respect and gives me direct feedback in areas where I can improve in a kind way."

You can hear employee commitment to delivering premier health care, no matter their degree level or program title. You can feel their appreciation for working in an atmosphere of mutual support and creativity.

"It's the positive atmosphere that makes KBH such a great place to work," said Aaron Landry. Aaron also spoke highly of KBH's collaborative atmosphere, where expertise and provider experience is shared across the programs. "The management team also makes a concerted effort for the agency to be transparent with what is going on at the corporate and administrative level," he added. "There is no hoarding of information at the top; rather, an understanding that all of us together are smarter than one of us individually. The feeling of collaboration and wanting to help each other is transparent through almost every employee. Health care work can often be tough, but it is a lot easier when you are doing the work in a great place with lots of great people."

Employee Claudine Chaput agreed, saying KBH "accepts input from all levels in the organization, and provides a venue for positive change and improvements."

Robert Reed said he values the workplace culture and that it's a safe place to have a difference of opinion. "People's opinions and ideas are valued. There is a true sense of respect among co-workers."

High Hopes Clubhouse Director Lisa Soucie said she values the management team's "good business sense," its mutual respect for all staff and that KBH is financially secure. "Feeling valued, respected, listened to - it's all good!"
