Our Parent Company
Our parent company, Brightli, is on a MISSION: A mission to improve client care. A mission to reduce the financial burden of community mental health centers by sharing resources. A mission to have a larger voice in advocacy to increase access to mental health and substance use care in our communities. And a mission to evolve the behavioral health industry to better meet the needs of our clients.
It is our absolute pleasure to be supporting one of the largest behavioral health and addiction treatment systems in the U.S. and helping make these goals a reality. Together, building healthy communities really is in reach.
Our History
The Burrell Foundation transitioned to the Brightli Foundation on Monday, August 19, 2024. The Burrell Foundation was founded in 2020 to identify unmet needs and align community partners and funding for Burrell Behavioral Health. As Brightli, the parent company of Burrell Behavioral Health, grew and expanded across the Midwest, the need appeared to have financial support expand as well to all of Brightli's top-line subsidiaries. This is how the Brightli Foundation was born.
