The Great Lakes Mental Health Technology Transfer Center (MHTTC) is housed at the Center for Health Enhancement Systems Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

We are part of a national network, funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, which includes a Network Coordinating Office, 10 Regional MHTTC Centers, a National American Indian/Alaska Native MHTTC, and a National Hispanic and Latino MHTTC.

Our collaborative network supports the mental health field in Health and Human Services Region 5 (IL, IN, MI, MN, OH, & WI) with:

Training and technical assistance
Resource development and dissemination
Workforce development

Our goals

Accelerate the adoption and implementation of evidence-based practices.
Heighten the awareness, knowledge, and skills of the workforce.
Develop strategies for delivering culturally-informed care with diverse practitioners, researchers, policymakers, family members, and consumers of mental health services.
Increase access to high-quality, low-cost or free-of-charge training and technical assistance for the mental health field.

Who We Are

Faculty and staff from the Center for Health Enhancement Systems Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison lead this effort, in collaboration with the Great Lakes Addiction Technology Transfer Center (ATTC) and the Great Lakes Prevention Technology Transfer Center (PTTC).
