The overall goal of this program is to support and enhance scholarly activities related to Mental Health Research at GCC institutions and enhance the diversity of the GCC MHR program. Its voluntary membership is composed of students and postdocs who are interested in MHR in the Houston/Galveston area. These students will help guide the MHR Program and bring a more diverse set of ideas to the table. Any student or postdoc at a GCC institution may join for free.
