GMU CCMH

The George Mason University Center for Community Mental Health (CCMH) is a multidisciplinary training facility for students in behavioral health, which serves our wider community.

Our primary mission is to provide culturally responsive evidence-based clinical training in assessment, consultation, and intervention, as well as to provide accessible, culturally sensitive, state-of-the-art mental health services to the community. CCMH also participates in clinical research to help improve the quality of existing interventions and contribute to the scientific community. In coordination with the multidisciplinary training programs, the Center trains the next generation of ethical, caring, knowledgeable, culturally responsive and innovative treatment providers in models based on scientific knowledge while meeting community mental health needs. 

In addition to serving the community from our Center, we are often out in the community. Our Center proudly supports mental health awareness walks, reaches out to spiritual communities to help serve the needs of new refugees, and helps bring behavioral health services into local pediatric practices.  During the pandemic we were proud to offer free therapy to the essential workers who bravely reported to work keep the hospitals, pharmacies, schools, grocery stores, etc. in our community functioning. 

Workshops on various topics related to mental health and our Emotional Support Lines, in English and Spanish, and are offered to the community for free.
