The Missouri Institute of Mental Health (MIMH) is a research services organization focused on advancing the understanding and delivery of behavioral health care. Rooted in the history of psychiatric research and training, the institute collaborates with state mental health authorities and academic partners to inform policy, evaluate programs, and innovate approaches to mental health treatment and service delivery for populations dealing with behavioral health challenges. Located in St. Louis, Missouri, MIMH operates as a vehicle for research and evaluation that supports improvements in the way behavioral health services are delivered at the state and national level. Founded in the early 1960s as the Missouri Institute of Psychiatry and later affiliated with the University of Missouri-St. Louis, the organization has historically contributed to reducing hospital overcrowding, expanding training, and advancing early treatment programs, including initiatives addressing alcohol use and early psychosis. In recent years, MIMH has continued to pursue its mission through partnerships and projects that align with state and federal efforts to address the overdose crisis and improve access to evidence-based care for individuals with mental health needs.
