Behavioral
Health
Innovators, Inc.

We are leveraging many new innovations in care, technology and science and applying them to behavioral health "clusters." Our goal is to "think differently" about how behavioral health disorders can be prevented, diagnosed early and/or managed to improve quality of life and reduce healthcare costs. Behavioral Health Innovators, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) corporation, incorporated in Massachusetts. We are working with industry leaders and the innovation economy to scale out a variety of solutions (evidence-based programs, digital solutions, research) to address behavioral health issues related to anxiety, depression and substance use disorder. We co-design solutions working with the students and the recovery community directly. Our intent is to disrupt the on-ramp to addiction, anxiety, depression and more.

RAMP^TM Risk Addiction Mapping Progression^TM - Our screening, education and intervention framework is meant to identify risky behaviors in everyday language, in a staged progression so that young people can identify with them earlier.

About Us

Creating innovative, high impact solutions for individuals and loved ones who suffer from behavioral illnesses.  Our specialties are in the area of solution development, advanced research, education, and consulting services. Our initial emphasis is focused on substance use disorder, anxiety and depression.  We will be applying innovation practices from the public and private sectors to solve some of the biggest problems, learning especially from consumer-oriented industries. We also hope to be conveners and thought leaders, calling on the industry to think differently about how to help people with addictions and behavioral disorders achieve healthy lives.

Operating Principles

Our goal is to create behavioral health solutions based on our
six operating principles:

Including individuals and families as design partners

Developing solutions that can be highly scalable for broad reach

Developing solutions that are accessible at low cost or no cost

Leveraging emerging technologies, digital tools, and advanced research to innovate screening, intervention and treatment

Learning from other successful industries and models

Convening and collaborating with industry partners, rather than competing
