About Us

Who We Are

Our team is composed of experts working in behavioral healthcare, addiction treatment, and recovery support management. We have witnessed firsthand how frequently behavioral healthcare providers lack the resources to optimize their clients' recovery. BHCEF was created in 2018 to fill these gaps by awarding grants to providers who exhibit strong outcome success.

What We Do

BHCEF raises capital through various channels to finance an endowment fund that is the source of awards granted to behavioral care providers and addiction treatment centers.

For qualified providers we set up a comprehensive procedure including an application form that can be found on our Grants Page.

Meet The Team

Jean Rooryck

Jean studied in Belgium at the Universite de Bruxelles and Chambre Belge des Comptables where he earned his degrees in law and accounting. After moving to the US in 1987, Jean began managing businesses in various capacities: business initiator, inventor, receiver, CFO, CEO, business affairs and business consultant. From his behavioral health care consulting practice, Jean learned how measuring treatment efficacy was important to help patients in their journey. While the need for efficacy measurement was somehow fulfilled with generally accepted tests when it comes to behavioral challenges, treatment addiction clinicians and providers did not have such tools handy. To answer that need, in 2017 Jean conceived and developed a set of efficacy measurement tools combined with follow-up programs that are currently used by healthcare providers to improve behavioral and addictions treatment while patients are in treatment but also after patients have been discharged for a period up to one year.
