Welcome to the Center

The Center works to improve the mental, physical and emotional health of Montanans through our three priority areas: workforce development and training, research and evaluation, and capacity building and technical assistance. We partner with agencies, non-profits, community partners, professionals, scholars, parents, and youth on transformative, system-changing projects that increase practice effectiveness.

The Center includes more than 30 staff with diverse subject-matter expertise. Our success is built on a set of core values, that guide our daily interactions with one another and define the relationships we develop with our statewide partners.

For additional information about the Center and the services we can provide, please contact our Executive Director, Kate Chapin.
