About Meridian
What is Meridian?
Meridian is a statewide hub for community mental health in New Hampshire — a resource directory, a verified clinician forum, and a suite of professional tools. It exists because navigating mental health care in NH is genuinely hard, and it doesn't have to be.
Our mission
To make high-quality mental health resources findable, accurate, and accessible — especially in parts of New Hampshire where services are sparse, waitlists are long, or the system is hard to navigate without help.
The three pillars
Meridian is organized around three connected offerings.
Resource Directory
310+ verified listings across every NH region — community mental health centers, crisis lines, substance use programs, housing supports, telehealth providers, and more.
ExploreClinician Forum
A license-verified space for NH mental health professionals to ask questions, compare clinical notes, and discuss policy — private, practical, and peer-to-peer.
ExploreProfessional Tools
Browser-based clinical screening instruments (PHQ-9, GAD-7, AUDIT-C, C-SSRS, ACE), plus a supervision log, CE tracker, and an NH mental health job board.
ExploreIndependent and non-affiliated
Meridian is not affiliated with any healthcare system, insurance provider, government agency, or advocacy organization. We accept no advertising or sponsorship. We have no commercial interest in which resources you choose or which providers you contact.
Listings in the directory are included on merit — verified existence, accurate contact details, and relevance to NH community mental health. They are not paid placements. Unlisting a resource we can no longer verify happens the same way listing one does: by checking the facts.
Meridian is maintained by a small team of New Hampshire mental health clinicians and volunteers who contribute time and expertise. There is no company behind this. There is no investor. There is no business model that conflicts with the directory being accurate.
How Meridian is built and maintained
Meridian is a modern, open web platform built to be fast, accessible, and durable. Every page is designed to work on a phone in a waiting room or on a slow rural connection, to meet accessibility standards, and to keep the clinical tools entirely in your browser — no protected health information is ever sent to or stored on our servers.
Behind the directory is a verification and freshness system. Each listing records where its information came from and when it was last confirmed, and entries are re-checked on a schedule so that stale phone numbers, closed programs, and changed hours get caught and corrected. When something can no longer be verified, it's flagged for review rather than left to quietly mislead someone.
The people behind it are a small group of New Hampshire mental health clinicians and volunteers. The content in the psychoeducation library is written to be evidence-based and clinician-reviewed, and the professional tools use validated, published instruments. Accuracy is a standing commitment, not a one-time launch task — which is exactly why community contributions matter.
Data sources
Every listing traces back to a named source. Here is where the data comes from.
NH DHHS
New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services — the primary source for CMHC network listings and state-funded programs.
211 NH
The statewide 211 information service, which maintains its own database of health and human services across New Hampshire.
Direct provider contact
For organizations not in state databases, we contact providers directly to verify hours, intake procedures, and eligibility requirements.
Community submissions
Clinicians and community members submit resources they know are missing. Every submission is manually reviewed before publication.
For a full explanation of how we verify, re-verify, and maintain data quality, see our methodology page.
What Meridian is not
Meridian is not a clinical service, a crisis line, or a provider. We do not offer mental health advice, make referrals, or connect individuals with clinicians. Resource listings are informational only. For immediate help, call or text 988 or NH Rapid Response at 833-710-6477.

Meridian improves when people who know NH mental health contribute to it.
