Social Psychiatry: Innovation in Research, Implementation, and Training (SPIRIT) Initiative
WHAT WE DO
The SPIRIT initiative strives to
rethink a public health approach to mental health, providing resources to study social causes of mental wellness across the life course, empowering researchers and communities to develop and implement scalable interventions that reduce the onset and persistence of psychiatric disorders and improve mental health.
Identifying the causes of these rapid changes in mental health is critical to designing and implementing solutions. With a public health approach, we will focus on these three domains:
OUR APPROACH
Etiology
Mechanisms
Intervention
