Care models, peer involvement, guidelines and manuals

The MH-TRN and specifically the Centre for Health Care Research (CHCR) in Hamburg is a leading centre for new mental healthcare models in Germany, especially for people with serious mental illness. This includes stepped, collaborative and integrated care models and – as a unique point – all translational steps from evidence-based development, clinical research on efficacy and efficiency, implementation and management in routine care, health services research, quality assurance as well as national and international transfer.
