The Jonathan O. Cole Mental Health Consumer Resource Center is a first-of-its kind operation that offers a wealth of information on psychiatric disorders and related topics. It is a joint initiative of McLean Hospital, one of the pre-eminent psychiatric hospitals in the country, and the Manic Depressive & Depressive Association of Boston (MDDA-Boston).

The center houses numerous mental health resources from a variety of origins. The Resource Center is staffed by consumers - people who have dealt successfully with mental health problems first hand and understand the questions that come up when someone needs psychiatric help.

Some of the services offered for corporations and organizations include:

• Training and consultation programs focused on appropriate and humane handling of mental illness in the workplace and other environments.

• Training and education programs related to compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for managers, human resource managers, Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), and others.

Some of the services offered for mental health consumers and their families include:

• The most up-to-date information on all types of psychiatric disorders, medications, health insurance, and self-help resources.

• The Resource Center Annex features a bookstore containing the latest mental health publications, contemporary cards, and related items. All proceeds go towards supporting Resource Center activities.
