The new Mental Health and Disability Alliance (MHDA) organization is having its first General Body Meeting on Monday, February 3 from 5 - 6:30 pm in the School of Public Health and Psychiatric Institute Room 121.
MHDA is a new organization at UIC founded by students, faculty, and staff that seeks to address issues revolving around mental health and disability. Our mission is to cultivate collaborations between the university and the community with the purpose of reducing stigma and other barriers associated with mental health and disability. MHDA aims to achieve these goals through interdisciplinary approaches of raising awareness, research and education, advocacy, and community engagement.
New student attendance and participation are welcomed as the organization seeks to strengthen the multidisciplinary expertise in the fields of mental health and disability. If you have any questions about MHDA, please contact John Capua at jcapua2@uic.edu.
