WHO WE ARE

The Center for Mental Health Equity at New York Theological Seminary provides a response to the disparities and injustices in America.

It focuses on education, research, and outreach by training faith and community leaders in healthcare knowledge and policy with a focus on mental health. The Center will help religious leaders mount a moral strategy addressing the inherent injustices in the US. It will create a network of faith leaders from different religious traditions who are trained in the financial, technological, social, and clinical strategies available to reduce disparities in mental healthcare. The Center will house a team of medical doctors, theologians, social scientists, legal experts, political scientists, psychologists and psychotherapists, and practitioners from various fields, all working collaboratively to bring about wholistic faith communities.
