This past October, our International Mental Health Research Symposium took place in New York City.

We are pleased to present you with the Top Advancements & Breakthroughs by Foundation Grantees, Prizewinners and Scientific Council members in 2018. They are presented in the order of their publication in scientific journals.

Stress and anxiety can arise if we’re feeling overwhelmed.

Thank you to the Game Theorists who held a day-long live stream YouTube event to raise awareness and money for BBRF! Dr. Jeffrey Borenstein offers his personal message of thanks in this video.
