Brightli

Brightli, founded in 2021, is one of the largest behavioral health and addiction treatment providers in the United States. It operates as a parent company that unifies multiple independent organizations under a single system while allowing each to retain its own governance structure. The group serves communities across several states, with subsidiary organisations including Burrell Behavioral Health, Comprehensive Mental Health Services, Places for People, Preferred Family Healthcare, Clarity Healthcare, Southeast Missouri Behavioral Health, Firefly Supported Living & Employment Services and Adult & Child Health.

Services span a continuum of behavioral health care, substance use and addiction treatment, and developmental disability services. Firefly Supported Living & Employment Services provides supported living and employment support. A shared-resource operating model underpins the system, designed to reduce the financial burden on community mental health centres and to widen access to specialised care. The Brightli Foundation, the system's foundation arm, supports improved client care and advocacy for greater access to mental health and substance use treatment.

The stated mission is to improve client care, ease financial pressure on community mental health centres and advocate for increased access to mental health and substance use care. The organisation describes a collaborative model in which independent bodies share resources while keeping their own governance, with the aim of meeting growing demand for mental health services in the communities they serve.
