About Us
Since 1987 the Dartmouth Psychiatric Research Center has studied mental health services and helped providers establish programs based on evidence gained from research. The Dartmouth Evidence-Based Practices Center (DEBPC), formerly the West Institute, was founded in 2000 thanks to a generous gift from the West Family Foundation. The Center facilitates the implementation of Evidence-Based Practices (EBPs) in sustainable ways in public mental health systems and agencies across the country.
