UIC National Research and Training Center on Psychiatric Disability

This Center conducts a series of research and training projects that focus on increasing self-determination for persons with psychiatric disabilities. The Center's current projects are composed of five core areas: (1) choices in treatment decision-making; (2) economic self-sufficiency; (3) consumer advocacy under managed care; (4) career development through real jobs for real wages; and (5) strengthening self-determination skills and self-advocacy. These core areas reaffirm that people with psychiatric disabilities have the right to maximal independence, which grows out of making choices in the decisions that affect their lives.
