Center for Health Equity, Education, and Research (CHEER)

The Center for Health Equity, Education, and Research (CHEER) is dedicated to addressing health challenges that are worsened by disparities. We do this through multiple research and training programs located in the Department of Psychology at Illinois Institute of Technology and funded by various government and private funders. Our focus is on solutions, especially at the level of an active community. Although our roots are with challenges wrought by mental illness, we have broadened to health and health disparities in general over the past decade. CHEER comprises five programs with their own portfolio of projects.
