NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THESE SECURITIES OR PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE. The date of this Prospectus is June , 2002 OUR COMPANY Our company is a national health care company, which provides psychiatric services to individuals who have behavioral health disorders including alcohol and drug dependency and to individuals in the gaming and trucking industry. We operate substance abuse treatment facilities in Utah and Virginia, four outpatient psychiatric facilities in Michigan, two outpatient psychiatric facilities in Nevada and an inpatient psychiatric facility in Michigan. We provide management, administrative and help line services through contracts with major railroads and also conduct studies on the effects of psychiatric pharmaceuticals on a controlled population through contracts with the manufacturers of these pharmaceuticals. We also operate a website, Wellplace.com which provides education, training and products for the behavioral health professional and internet support services to all of our subsidiaries. Our company provides behavioral health- services and products through inpatient and outpatient facilities and online to behavioral health professionals. Our substance abuse facilities provide specialized treatment services to patients who typically have poor recovery prognoses and who are prone to relapse. These services are offered in small specialty care facilities, which permit us to provide our clients with efficient and customized treatment without the significant costs associated with the management and operation of general acute care hospitals. We tailor these programs and services to "safety-sensitive" industries and concentrate our marketing efforts on the transportation, oil and gas exploration, heavy equipment, manufacturing, law enforcement, gaming and health services industries. Our psychiatric facility provides inpatient psychiatric care and intensive outpatient treatment, referred to as partial hospitalization, to children, adolescents and adults. Our outpatient mental health clinics provide services to employees of major employers, as well as to managed care, Medicare and Medicaid clients. The psychiatric services are offered in a larger, more traditional setting than PHC's substance abuse facilities, enabling PHC to take advantage of economies of scale to provide cost-effective treatment alternatives. The company treats employees who have been referred for treatment as a result of compliance with Subchapter D of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 (commonly known as the Drug Free Workplace Act), which requires employers who are Federal contractors or Federal grant recipients to establish drug-free awareness programs which, among other things, inform employees about available drug counseling; rehabilitation and employee assistance programs. We also provide treatment under the Department of Transportation implemented regulations, which broaden the coverage and scope of alcohol and drug testing for employees in "safety sensitive" positions in the transportation industry. The company was incorporated in 1976 and is a Massachusetts corporation. Our corporate offices are located at 200 Lake Street, Suite 102, Peabody, MA 01960 and our telephone number is (978) 536-2777.

In addition to the other information in this prospectus, the following risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating whether to invest in the securities offered hereby. OPERATING RISKS The concentration of accounts receivable due from government payors could create a severe cash flow problem should these agencies fail to make timely payment. We had substantial receivables from Medicaid and Medicare of approximately $1,002,000 at March 31, 2002 and $633,000 at June 30, 2001, which would create a cash flow problem should these agencies defer or fail to make reimbursement payments as due, which would require us to borrow at unfavorable rates. If managed care organizations delay approving treatment, or reduce the patient length of stay or number of visits or reimbursement, our company's ability to meet operating expenses is affected. As managed care organizations and insurance companies adopt policies that limit the length of stay for substance abuse treatment, our business is materially adversely affected since our revenues and cash flow go down and our fixed operating expenses continue. Reimbursement for substance abuse and psychiatric treatment from private insurers is largely dependent on our ability to substantiate the medical necessity of treatment. The process of substantiating a claim often takes up to four months and sometimes longer; as a result, we experience significant delays in the collection of amounts reimbursable by third-party payors, which adversely affects our working capital condition. As our accounts receivable age and become uncollectable our cash flow is negatively impacted. Our accounts receivable from patient accounts (net of allowance for bad debts) were $6,015,990 at March 31, 2002 compared with $6,220,715 at June 30, 2001 and $6,928,490 at June 30, 2000. As we expand, we will be required to seek payment from a larger number of payors and the amount of accounts receivable will likely increase. This decrease is a result of better accounts receivable management due to increased staff, standardization of some procedures for collecting receivables, a more aggressive collection policy and a more aggressive reserve policy. If the amount of receivables, which eventually become uncollectible, exceeds such reserves, we could be materially adversely affected. In addition, any decrease in our ability to collect our accounts receivable or any further delay in the collection of accounts receivable would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. See the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes related thereto included herein or incorporated herein by reference. Due to the company's current high debt to equity ratio and recent losses from operations, if the company needs additional financing it may require borrowing at unfavorable rates. We are utilizing, to the maximum extent, our accounts receivable funding facilities, which bear interest at the prime rate plus 2.25%, to meet our current cash needs. Should we require additional funds to meet our cash flow requirements or to fund growth or new investments, we may be required to meet these needs with more costly financing. If we are unable to obtain needed financing, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operations and business prospects. See Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included or incorporated into this prospectus by reference. The company's reliance on contracts with key clients to maintain sufficient patient census would impact our ability to meet our fixed costs should one or more of these clients cancel contracts or be unable to pay for services rendered. We have entered into relationships with large employers, health care institutions and labor unions to provide treatment for psychiatric disorders, chemical dependency and substance abuse in conjunction with employer-sponsored employee assistance programs. The employees of such institutions may be referred to us for treatment, the cost of which is reimbursed on a per diem or per capita basis. Approximately 30% of our total revenue is derived from these key clients. No one of these large employers, health care institutions or labor unions individually accounts for 10% or more of our consolidated revenues, the loss of any of these key clients would require us to expend considerable effort to replace patient referrals and would result in revenue losses and attendant loss in income. Control of the healthcare industry exercised by federal, state and local regulatory agencies can increase costs, establish maximum reimbursement levels and limit expansion. Our company and the health care industry are subject to rapid regulatory change with respect to licensure and conduct of operations at existing facilities, construction of new facilities, acquisition of existing facilities, the addition of new services, compliance with physical plant safety and land use requirements, implementation of certain capital expenditures, reimbursement for services rendered and periodic government inspections. Governmental budgetary restrictions have resulted in limited reimbursement rates in the healthcare industry including our company. As a result of these restrictions we cannot be certain that payments under government programs will remain at a level comparable to the present level or be sufficient to cover the costs allocable to such patients. In addition, many states, including the State of Michigan, are considering reductions in state Medicaid budgets. Insurance companies and managed care organizations are entering into sole source contracts with healthcare providers, which could limit our ability to obtain patients. Private insurers, managed care organizations and, to a lesser extent, Medicaid and Medicare, are beginning to carve-out specific services, including mental health and substance abuse services, and establish small, specialized networks of providers for such services at fixed reimbursement rates. Continued growth in the use of carve-out systems could materially adversely affect our business to the extent we are not selected to participate in such smaller specialized networks or if the reimbursement rate is not adequate to cover the cost of providing the service. If we acquire new businesses or expand our businesses, the operating costs may be far greater than revenues for a significant period of time. The operating losses and negative cash flow associated with start-up operations or acquisitions could have a material adverse effect on our profitability and liquidity unless and until such facilities are fully integrated with our other operations and become self sufficient. Until such time we may be required to borrow at higher rates and less favorable terms. The limited number of healthcare professionals in the areas in which we operate may create staffing shortages. Our success depends, in large part, on our ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel, particularly skilled health care personnel, which are in short supply. We face competition for such personnel from governmental agencies, health care providers and other companies and are constantly increasing our employee benefit programs, and related costs, to maintain required levels of skilled professionals. These increasing costs impact our profitability. MANAGEMENT RISKS Bruce A. Shear is in control of the company since he is entitled to elect and replace a majority of the board of directors. Bruce Shear and his affiliates own and control 92.3% of the class B common stock which elects four of the six members of the Board of Directors. Bruce Shear can establish, maintain and control business policy and decisions by virtue of his control of the board of directors. Retention of key personnel with knowledge of key contracts and clients is essential to the success of the company. PHC is highly dependent on the principal members of its management and professional staff, particularly Bruce A. Shear, PHC's President and Chief Executive Officer, Robert H. Boswell, PHC's Senior Vice President and the other members of PHC's management and their continued relationship with key clients. MARKET RISKS The company's failure to meet listing requirements resulted in the delisting of the company's stock from the Nasdaq Stock Market. The company's stock is currently a bulletin board traded stock. The cost of trading on the bulletin board can be more than the cost of trading on the SmallCap market and since there may be an absence of market makers on the bulletin board the price may be more volatile and it may be harder to sell the securities. If our common stock is not actively traded, the small number of transactions can result in significant swings in the market price, and it may be difficult for stockholders to dispose of stock in a timely way at a desirable market price or may result in purchasing of shares for a higher price. Our right to issue convertible preferred stock may adversely affect the rights of the common stock. Our Board of Directors has the right to establish the preferences for and issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock without further stockholder action. The terms of any series of preferred stock, which may include priority claims to assets and dividends and special voting rights, could adversely affect the market price of and the ability to sell common stock.

In May 1997 the company issued Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to ProFutures Special Equity Fund, LP with an aggregate value of $1,000,000. The Shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into 475,945 shares of Class A Common Stock. In October 1997 the company issued units consisting of 172,414 shares of Class A Common Stock and warrants to purchase 86,207 shares of Class A Common Stock to ProFutures Special Equity Fund, LP in a private placement. Also in connection with this transaction, the company issued warrants to purchase 3,000 shares of Class A Common Stock in March 1998. In March 1998 the company issued a total of 950 shares of Series B convertible Preferred Stock as follows: 200 shares to Augustine Fund; 500 shares to ProFutures; 150 shares to G. Halbert and 100 shares to J. Mauldin. This Preferred Stock was convertible into Class A Common Stock at a conversion price that was 80% of the average closing bid price five days prior to the conversion date. The company was obligated to issue the Selling Security Holder a promissory Note for the difference between $2.00 (the "Minimum Conversion Price") and the market price of Class A Common Stock (the "Price Guarantee"). In a subsequent agreement the price guarantee was later revised to allow the company to issue Class A Common Stock in lieu of the promissory note. As of this date all outstanding Series B Preferred Stock have been converted.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Section 6 of the Registrant's Restated Articles of Organization provides, in part, that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors, trustees, officers, employees and agents against all liabilities, costs and expenses, including but not limited to amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in settlement or as fines and penalties, and counsel fees, reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or disposition of or otherwise in connection with or resulting from any action, suit or proceeding in which such director or officer may be involved or with which he may be threatened, while in office or thereafter, by reason of his actions or omissions in connection with services rendered directly or indirectly to the Registrant during his term of office, such indemnification to include prompt payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of any such action, suit or proceeding. In addition, the Restated Articles of Organization of the Registrant, under authority of the Business Corporation Law of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, contain a provision eliminating the personal liability of a director to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (1) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, or (3) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The foregoing provision also is inapplicable to situations wherein a director has voted for, or assented to the declaration of, a dividend, repurchase of shares, distribution, or the making of a loan to an officer or director, in each case where the same occurs in violation of applicable law. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of PHC pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, PHC has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by PHC of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of PHC in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, PHC will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
