Outreach Partners

The NIMH Outreach Partnership Program has 55 Outreach Partner organizations representing all states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Outreach Partners disseminate NIMH research findings and educational materials to the public throughout their states and local communities. Outreach Partners also conduct outreach activities to address mental health disparities as defined by race or ethnicity, age (e.g., children, transition-age youth, older adults), education, income, disability status, geographic location, or risk status related to sex and gender, and other populations identified to be at-risk. In addition, Outreach Partners promote volunteer participation in NIMH and NIH clinical trials, and work with researchers to enhance the public health impact of mental health research. Learn more about what Outreach Partners are doing to address mental health disparities, including issues related to child and youth mental health.
