NIMH partnership
MHAMD is one of 50 state partners in the National Institute of Mental Health’s (NIMH) Outreach Partnership Program. We work in partnership with NIMH to strengthen the public health impact of research by broadly distributing the latest scientific findings about mental health, substance use and mental illness.
Our efforts seek to increase public knowledge and ensure that community practices are informed by current research, paving the way for prevention, recovery and cure. If you would like to receive NIMH Update emails, please contact Kari Gorkos to be added to the distribution list.
The Program also provides NIMH with the opportunity to gather input from community organizations regarding the national research agenda to improve America’s mental health.
