INSTITUTE FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS EDUCATION
AT CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, HAYWARD
The Institute for Mental Health and Wellness Education at the California
State University, Hayward is committed to bringing people together with
diverse interests and backgrounds to tackle one of societies most pressing
problems -- mental illness and the tragic toll it takes on all of our lives.
Through the combined efforts of the Institute and our collaborators we hope
to shed light on the myths and mysteries of mental illness while providing
much needed information. It is our fervent hope to help facilitate a recovery
process in all mentally disabled individuals.
The Institute for Mental Health and Wellness Education (Institute) at
