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.

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
Recovery BUILD Alternative Peer Group
(APG)
We are losing teens at an alarming rate

find and fix the gaps. Recovery Build APG is
a safe place where teens and young adults
come together with their peers in recovery
to build a sober life that will sustain them
as they integrate into the broader recovery
community.

Student Advisors
Student Advisors One of our core
values is to include youth in the design of our work. We
hope to amplify their voices, understand what resonates (or
doesn’t) with youth and solicit feedback, in general. These
volunteers have agreed to provide feedback to make sure our
programs work with their peers. We welcome their insights
and energy!
