Our commitment to community outreach began at our inception. We have provided information and education to the general community via many different modalities including newspaper, magazines, television and radio. We have been featured on such television programs as the Discovery Channel, 48 Hours, 20/20, Dateline NBC, The Sally-Jessy Raphael Show, The John Walsh Show, and various other local and national news channels. In addition, our staff has provided lectures to the community through such organizations as National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI), the Obsessive Compulsive Foundation (OCF), the Anxiety Disorders Association of America (ADAA), as well as hospitals, medical and psychological organizations, and various schools and colleges. In addition, numerous women's groups, churches and other civic organizations have requested public speaking engagements.
Our Mission
The Bio-Behavioral Institute is committed to serving the community by providing educational and informational programs on mental health issues.
