Our unique translational approach allows us to quickly turn our world-class scientific findings into clinical services, educational programs and e-health products that improve the lives of people with mental illness. We join the dots, connecting research answers, expert knowledge and the voices of lived experience to deliver solutions that work across the health care system for patients and practitioners alike.Our partnerships with people with lived experience, federal, state, and local governments, communities, schools, workplaces, philanthropists, health services, clinicians, and others in the mental health sector enables us to create real-world change.
