Connecting people to mental health care sooner

The Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation focuses on approaches to brain health that strengthen health systems, support earlier connections to services, and improve outcomes for individuals and communities facing persistent barriers to mental health care.

Across the United States, people living with serious mental illness are too often disconnected from timely, appropriate care. These gaps can result in delayed treatment, preventable crises, and increased interaction with systems that are not designed to meet behavioral health needs.

We are supporting efforts that prioritize system-level solutions that bring together healthcare, community, and public sector partners to improve how and where people receive support.

Through its brain health work, the Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation is committed to advancing sustainable, scalable, collaborative approaches that improve access to care and support better outcomes for people living with serious mental illness.
