The Yale Department of Psychiatry Mission, Vision, Values Statement
The Yale Department of Psychiatry is dedicated to enhancing well-being, facilitating recovery, and reducing the oppression and suffering associated with mental illness. We do this through the pursuit of excellence in education, practice, prevention, policy, and research; the development of transformative leaders; and restorative and reciprocal community engagement. We embrace multiple approaches to learning, levels of analysis, and ways of knowing. Throughout this work, we strive to nurture a diverse community of trainees, staff, faculty, and partnerships, characterized by compassion, dignity, humility, inclusivity, and justice.
