The FPR-UCLA Culture, Brain, Development, and Mental Health program (CBDMH) is the latest initiative by the Foundation for Psychocultural Research in their effort to bring together culture and neuroscience in the study of human behavior, particularly mental health and illness.

The mission of  the CBDMH program is to integrate the neuro- and social sciences to provide innovation in research, treatment, and support for people living with mental illness.
