Important Update from SMI Adviser

Funding for SMI Adviser ends on July 8, 2024
Read below for an important update and action steps

On behalf of the SMI Adviser team, thank you for being part of our journey over the last six years. In that short amount of time, we accomplished a great deal together. That includes delivering 6,500+ consultations to the field, offering 1,700+ resources and tools, and educating 85,000+ clinicians across all professions. I truly hope that guidance and education from SMI Adviser helped you provide the best possible care to people who have serious mental illness (SMI).

Our initiative is at the end of its funding and is scheduled to shut down on July 8, 2024. Below is important information about access to our education and website, as well as credible sources you can turn to after SMI Adviser is no longer available.
