The Center of Excellence (COE) for Psychosocial and Systemic Research at Massachusetts General Hospital is funded by the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health (DMH). This reflects the current increased awareness in our field of the importance of psychosocial treatment approaches to prevention, illness management and recovery in mental health.
