Temple University Collaborative on Community Inclusion of Individuals with Psychiatric Disabilities - Philadelphia, PA

The Temple University Collaborative on Community Inclusion of Individuals with Psychiatric Disabilities is a Rehabilitation Research and Training Center, funded by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research to conduct state-of-the-art research and knowledge translation activities to improve opportunities for community inclusion of people with psychiatric disabilities.

• target obstacles that prevent people with psychiatric disabilities from fully participating in their communities;
• develop the services and supports consumers and communities need to promote full integration into all aspects of community life; and
• expand the range of opportunities for people who have psychiatric disabilities to participate in their communities as active, equal members.
