About Huntsman Mental Ƶ Institute
Striving for a World Free from Stigma and Suffering
Huntsman Mental Ƶ Institute is part of a world-renowned academic health system working to transform mental health care through community, research, clinical, and education initiatives. Made possible by a generous $150 million donation from the Huntsman family, we aim to reduce stigma and promote healing across Utah, and across the nation.
From educators, researchers, and clinicians to the organizations we partner with across the state we’re here to shine a light on mental health and bring dignity and quality care to the Ƶren, adolescents, and adults and families we serve every day.
Our Mission
Advance mental health knowledge, hope, and healing for all.
Our Vision
Create the world’s first university-wide mental health institute to drive transformative change in patient care, education, research, and policy.
A Historic Gift
In November 2019, the Ƶ of Utah announced a historic commitment of $150 million from the Huntsman Foundation to establish Huntsman Mental Ƶ Institute. HMHI will build on the reputation and excellence of the Ƶ's full-service psychiatric hospital, its network of outpatient clinics, and the Department of Psychiatry, to become a national model for mental health education, research, treatment, and care.
Initially, HMHI will work on expanding academic programs, growing research initiatives, and building clinical programs focused on young adults.
