About BBHI

Our vision is to become the leading center in the Southwestern and Rocky Mountain States region for brain and behavioral health, through comprehensive research, education and community partnership.

Our mission is to improve the brain and behavioral health of all New Mexicans, across the lifespan.

Our most important value is our commitment to improving the brain and behavioral health of all New Mexicans. The Institute will advance brain and behavioral health across the lifespan, from infancy to adolescence, young adulthood to mid-life, and through aging by developing new strategies of prevention, early detection, resilience, recovery and repair. The full spectrum of research (pre-clinical, community and translational) will be valued in these efforts. We recognize the importance of all forms of diversity, as well as the need for inclusiveness in our scientific and clinical disciplines, including the voice of community partners in our efforts. The BBHI will be established on a framework of engagement, respect and research and clinical excellence. At all times we will act with integrity and professionalism.
