Projects

As our name suggests, we at the CMHARTS advocate for mental health, conduct research and offer treatment services.

We're dedicated to making a tangible difference in mental health within our community and understand that simply advocating for those who already value mental health isn't enough. That's why we actively engage with our community through diverse programs designed to foster change.

But we don't stop there. We believe in measuring our impact. Through data collection and research, we assess the effectiveness of our efforts. This informs our treatment strategies, ensuring we provide the best possible care to our clients.

Here are some recent projects we've been hosting, each aimed at furthering our mission and improving mental health outcomes for all.

12 Step Facilitation Program

At CMHARTS, we host12-Step Facilitation Meetings every alternate Friday, offering structured support for individuals in recovery from addiction or alcoholism. These meetings focus on the first three steps of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) while exploring the neurobiological basis of recovery, how the 12-step process affects the brain and why it helps people heal. Whether you're new to recovery, unsure about attending AA, or seeking additional support, this space provides guidance, education, and encouragement to help you take the next step.

Grey Matter Gathering

At CMHARTS we host The Grey Matter Gathering, a monthly online academic discussion hosted on Google Meet, where we explore actionable strategies and insights on a new topic each month. Each session is designed to offer practical takeaways for professionals, students, and anyone interested in mental health, neuroscience, and psychology. Engage in thought-provoking discussions and gain valuable tools to apply in your practice or daily life.
