The Center for Excellence in Cultural Competence is one of two research centers designated by the New York State Office of Mental Health to investigate and disseminate best practices in the delivery of culturally competent mental health services to underserved populations who are affected by cultural and linguistic barriers.

Our mission is to conduct research on the cultural and linguistic competence of mental health services in order to improve the quality and availability of these services for underserved populations in New York State.
