About Us
The DU Mental Health and Wellness Collaborative (The Collaborative) brings together expertise from different professional training traditions across the Department of Psychology, Counseling Psychology (Morgridge College of Education), Graduate School of Professional Psychology, and Graduate School of Social Work. The Collaborative is guided by an interdisciplinary faculty steering committee from each of these academic units.
Through strong community-university partnerships, the Collaborative works to expand access to culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and evidence-based mental health care while preparing a diverse and skilled mental health workforce through interprofessional education.
As part of this work, the Collaborative has established a community-engaged mental health clinic with and in the Valverde neighborhood of West Denver.
