Research Program Mission
The mission of the research program of this Rehabilitation Research and Training Center (RRTC) is to develop and evaluate new knowledge, and based on that new knowledge, to effect changes in the field of psychiatric rehabilitation so that services and systems can be designed to respond to our understanding of the concepts and dimensions of, barriers to, and facilitators of recovery.
