Collaborations

Overview

The Department of Psychiatry collaborates with several patient advocacy groups to achieve our mutual missions of parity in mental health coverage, increased access to broader and more effective mental health clinical programs, and increased support for community-based mental health services.  This commitment to patients and their families and friends represents a powerful partnership to maximize a positive voice to foster education, research, and clinical care programs in the mental health field.
