Made possible by the generosity of foundation and individual donors, the MADI Resource Center was established in the year 2000 in the Department of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital.
The Center translates the latest research advances into practical information to help people work with their doctors toward the most accurate diagnosis and best possible treatment results. The Center offers information, resources and support through its web sites, reading materials, support groups, and seminars for the public – all free of charge.
Recent public education programs have featured leading researchers presenting findings on a broad range of mental health topics including: depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, alternative and complementary medicine, mental health in teens, and mood and memory in older adults.
In order to raise awareness of the unique challenges that people with mental health conditions and their families often face in the community, and to promote the highest quality mental health care, the MADI Resource Center provides educational opportunities for professionals such as counselors, nurses, educators and professionals in the legal field.
