The mission of the Center for Mental Health Services Research is to be an internationally recognized academic center that conducts research on the nature, structure, effectiveness, and regulation of services for individuals with mental health conditions, and develops and disseminates knowledge to improve the lives of these individuals, their families, and other community members.

Fundamental Goals of CMHSR 

DMH Center of Excellence 
CMHSR works very closely with and supports DMH’s mission by providing data and developing knowledge on access to services and supports, including effective and culturally competent care promoting recovery. CMHSR is dedicated to conducting mental health training and research across topic areas identified as critical by DMH. CMHSR’s mission mirrors DMH’s commitment to collaborating with other state agencies, consumers, families, advocates, providers, and communities. We strive for the broadest possible dissemination of our research with the goal of informing all involved mental health stakeholders as to the state of the science. DMH and CMHSR are aligned in their vision of promoting mental health through early intervention, treatment, education, policy and regulation to provide opportunities for citizens of the Commonwealth to live full and productive lives.
