COMMUNITY AND ACADEMIC MENTAL HEALTH COLLABORATIVE
The Community and Academic Mental Health Collaborative (CAMHC) uses research, funding, education, and advocacy to increase access to behavioral health services and promote development of a community behavioral health workforce that reflects the demographics of the region.
The collaborative includes interdisciplinary researchers, educators, and community partners. If you are interested in learning more, please contact James Pease at peasejs@ucmail.uc.edu.
Action summits & symposiums
As a result of the Mental Health Action Summit, a group of interdisciplinary researchers, educators, and community partners are working together to address the pressing issues and challenges in the Greater Cincinnati region. Connecting academic and community together to co-create solutions to the mental health problems is central to advancing health and equity. This opportunity will allow for researchers and community to learn effective strategies to implement research findings and evidence-based practice and shape the health and well-being in the community.
