Research Networks

The Center for Collegiate Mental Health (CCMH) is a multidisciplinary, Practice-Research-Network (PRN) focused on providing information on the mental health of college students. CCMH connects practice, research, and technology to benefit students, mental health providers, administrators, researchers, and the public.

Through the collaborative efforts of over 550 college and university counselling centers and supportive organizations, CCMH has been able to build one of the largest databases on college student mental health. CCMH also actively develops clinical tools, reports, and research using this data.

Based at the University of Michigan and Boston University, The Healthy Minds Network for Research on Adolescent and Young Adult Mental Health (HMN) is led by a multi-disciplinary team of scholars from public health, education, medicine, psychology, and information sciences, many of whom are affiliated with the University’s Comprehensive Depression Center. HMN  aims to improve the mental and emotional well-being of young people through innovative, multidisciplinary scholarship. HMN addresses the connection between the mental health of adolescents and young adults and their health behaviours, physical health, and social, educational, and economic outcomes. Through an array of research projects, the network serves as a resource for secondary and higher education administrators, researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and the public.
