The Journey.

For over 28 years, BHR has provided 24-hour access to mental health
services and counseling. We’re a nonprofit corporation comprised of
trained clinicians and professionals who treat those in need with
dignity, respect, excellence, and compassion.

our mission


We strive to do
more each and every day.

Mental health services and awareness have changed dramatically since our founding in 1994. Our mission, however, remains the same: to ensure immediate, barrier-free access to behavioral health care.

In partnership with Resilience Builders and Missouri Behavioral Health Council, BHR completed a Trauma-Informed Organizational Assessment confirming BHR is a trauma-informed agency according to the Missouri Model.
