Combining human compassion with innovation to think differently about
behavioral health education, screening, intervention and treatment
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.
