Initiative for Behavioral Health Integration

Mission

The core mission of the Lipscomb Initiative for Behavioral Health Integration (LIBHI) is to facilitate the integration of mental health services into primary care health centers in the middle Tennessee area. We hope to be a catalyst for behavioral health innovations through training, research, advocacy, and practice. The initiative is funded by a $2.2 million dollar grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to train Clinical Mental Health Counseling students interning at health clinics treating people who are geographically isolated and economically or medically vulnerable.
