The ScattergoodEthics Program elevates the national conversation about the ethics of research, treatment, and delivery of behavioral health care.

Since 2007, faculty, fellows, and affiliates of the ScattergoodEthics Program have studied ethical issues in behavioral healthcare. Our work has influenced academic debate and local, state, & federal mental health policy. We are grateful to the Thomas Scattergood Behavioral Health Foundation for its ongoing support.
