Support the Center for Interventional Psychiatry

Philanthropic support plays a vital role in advancing the mission of the UTHealth Houston Center for Interventional Psychiatry. Your generosity helps expand access to innovative, evidence-based care for individuals with severe, complex, and treatment-resistant psychiatric illness, while supporting education, research, and program development.

With donor support, the Center is working toward a bold vision: to become for depression and severe mental illness what MD Anderson is for cancer—a destination for the most advanced, compassionate, and science-driven care.

Why Your Support Matters

Gifts to the Center help support:

  • Patient care innovation, including advanced interventional psychiatry treatments
  • Expansion of Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD) programs across levels of care
  • Education and training for residents, fellows, and visiting scholars
  • Clinical research focused on mood disorders and suicidality
  • Program development that improves access, quality, and outcomes for patients and families

Philanthropy enables the Center to pursue initiatives beyond traditional funding sources and to respond directly to patient and community needs.
