Start your journey to better mental health
Huntsman Mental Health Institute is the first of its kind to bring research, education, and patient care together to solve one of our nation’s greatest challenges: untreated mental health conditions.
Our exceptional care programs, including a 161-bed hospital, are part of the world-renowned University of Utah academic healthcare system.
Our research helps the world better understand the complexity of the brain to address mental health and substance use disorders.
We inspire and grow the mental health workforce through accredited programs in clinical psychology, psychiatry, and more.
Our namesake is thanks to the Huntsman family’s commitment to mental health. Join us to advance hope and healing for all.
