About the Lab

Lab Mission

The Mental Healthcare for All Lab mission is to increase the accessibility and availability of quality mental health services to all who need them. Due to the vast inequities that exist in our society along classed, gendered, and racialized lines, our work is especially concerned with improving services for those impacted by these inequities.

What We Do

Many of our lab’s projects seek to combat mental health inequities by strengthening, expanding, and integrating our public mental health and social service systems. Given that the inaccessibility of mental healthcare is primarily driven by mental health provider shortages and the inequitable distribution of mental health providers, most of our recent research has focused on strategies to support the mental health workforce. 

Our lab works directly with local and state governments, publicly funded mental health agencies, clinicians, and people seeking treatment to conduct our mental health services and policy research. We believe that it is essential to center the voices and needs of those on the front lines to ensure that our research has the most impact.
