As the rate of mental illness—especially depression, anxiety, and substance abuse—continues to climb in the United States, the mental health field of medicine is in dire need of new perspectives and treatments. The Vail Health Behavioral Health Innovation Center seeks to address this mental health crisis head-on by providing fresh, scientifically-supported perspectives on mental illness and a framework for understanding a range of new evidence-based treatments. 
 
In collaboration with the University of Wisconsin-Madison the lectures feature innovative leaders in behavioral health treatment and research.
