Based on our knowledge and experience, we act on the belief that it is possible for people with mental illness to thrive in spite of their condition. We also operate with the hope that our state is capable of developing a more cohesive, comprehensive, and compassionate service delivery system than is currently in place. As part of the University of North Carolina at Chapel HIll, we welcome the opporutnity to serve the state as it addresses this challenge. As clinicians and researchers in the field of mental health, we're honored to serve North Carolinians in need.

Founded in January 2009, the Center for Excellence in Community Mental Health is part of the Department of Psychiatry in the School of Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Addressing quality of care and workforce development issues in North Carolina's mental health system, the Center and its clinical programs are supported by a three-year grant from The Duke Endowment, as well as Cross Area Services Program (CASP)
funds. The program operates in conjunction with multiple university, state, and community-based partners.
