Dear BBH family, the Dalai Lama has shared this message with us: 
"I am fortunate to be alive. 
I have a precious human life. 
I am not going to waste it." 

BBH family, my message to you is to value life, redefine who we are, and reaffirm our commitment to the community we serve. On a daily basis, our team of specialists practice the best of their professional skills by providing services to our community regardless race, sexual orientation, spiritual, or religious preferences, political ideologies, age, physical appearance, color, or educational level, etc. We always keep in mind what Wayne Dyer once said “Real magic in relationships means an absence of judgment of others.”

We are a small outpatient mental and behavioral health provider with a BIG collective mission in mind. Our mission is to help people to recover in their own way and according to their own resources.
