Join us in Expanding Mental Healthcare Access. Addressing Mental Healthcare Shortages at Scale Mental healthcare shortages have created systemic challenges for communities, health systems and state agencies. UC Irvine's Train New Trainers Fellowship partners have helped address these challenges at scale by building mental healthcare capacity within existing primary care infrastructure. Explore Partnership Opportunities The Systemic Challenge One in five people is currently struggling with mental health conditions. One in three will face substance use disorders in their lifetime. 40% of primary care visits involve serious mental health issues, for which specialty resources are extremely limited.
