A Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity to Reinvent Behavioral Health Care for our Region

The new Center for Behavioral Health and Learning isn’t just a modern, light-filled, inviting 184,000-square-foot facility. It’s a first-of-its-kind concept in our state for patient and family-centered mental health care and training.

In addition to significantly increasing our region’s capacity to help individuals and families with serious and persistent mental health challenges, we have launched innovative programs that improve family and caregiver involvement, provide new, safe and effective treatments for devastating mental illnesses, and help inspire and prepare the next generation of health care professionals for our region.

We need your help to accomplish these ambitious goals.

Your generosity will help make the Center for Behavioral Health and Learning a beacon of hope for patients and their families.

ENSURE STRONG FACULTY AND PROGRAM LEADERS
With your help, we can recruit leading experts in their fields who will help us develop innovative new treatments for mental health and substance use problems, make connections and build awareness among historically underserved communities. With experts who have the passion, drive, expertise and dedicated time, we can grow our programs, decrease stigma and be powerful advocates for our loved ones living with mental health and addiction problems.

CREATE A WELCOMING AND HEALING ENVIRONMENT
You can help us continue creating welcoming, comfortable and nurturing spaces for patients and their families. Your support of capital needs, such as an expansion of our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) or an outpatient clinic to support our Garvey Institute Center for Neuromodulation, will improve our patients’ and our learners’ experiences and accelerate their recoveries.

INVEST IN INNOVATIVE CLINICAL AND TRAINING PROGRAMS
Your support of innovative programming can enhance recovery, reduce hospital readmissions, build hope and motivate new professionals to pursue training in mental health. With targeted programming, we can help people reintegrate into their communities after a hospital stay, increase the role of family and friends in a person’s recovery, strengthen peer support programs and advance research and care solutions.

• Expand access to innovative treatments. Clinicians at the Garvey Institute Center for Neuromodulation are experts in a variety of treatment types, such as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), ensuring they can help patients find the care appropriate for their condition.

• Support caregivers in helping their loved ones. The Family and Caregiver Training and Support (FACTS) program’s online, self-paced program teaches families and caregivers how to have more effective conversations with their loved ones about their treatment.

• Advance programs for patients with mental health and cognitive decline. The geropsychiatry program at the CBHL is one of the few programs in the state to specialize in inpatient psychiatric care for geriatric patients.
