The Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute (Meadows Institute) is a nationally respected, nonpartisan nonprofit dedicated to transforming mental health care through forward-thinking policy solutions and systems-level innovation. Established in 2013 by the Meadows Foundation, the Meadows Institute serves as a “think-and-do tank,” leveraging data-driven research, policy analysis, and technical assistance to develop and scale models of care that deliver real-world impact.

Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, the Meadows Institute has a statewide presence, operating programs in all 254 Texas counties and collaborating with stakeholders across the U.S. The Meadows Institute partners with government agencies, community organizations, health systems, and philanthropic leaders to improve access, equity, and quality in mental health care. Its vision is both clear and profound: mental health is health, and everyone deserves timely, effective care, regardless of geography or circumstance.
