Currently, there are two Centers and two Institutions which include: the Center for Adlerian Research and Scholarship, the LGBTQ Mental Health and Inclusion Center, the Institute for Social Exclusion, and the Institute for Public Safety and Social Justice. These offices and the Department of Community Engagement coordinate a myriad of internal and external projects which include: research on the social determinants of health, juvenile justice initiatives, trainings and clinical consultations, web-based databases, community events, and community organizing. All of the aforementioned projects are in an effort to advance the Adler Mission of Community Engagement, Social Justice, and Socially Responsible Practice.
