Pride and Practice: Bringing Innovation Into Our Treatments
The mission of the Institute on Psychiatric Services (IPS) is to train and support psychiatrists and other mental health professionals to provide quality care and leadership through the study of an array of clinical innovations and services necessary to meet the needs of individuals who suffer from mental illness, substance abuse, or other assaults to their mental health due to trauma or adverse social circumstances, in order to assure optimal care and hope of recovery.
