George Mason University will expand its research and real-world impact in Northern Virginia with The Saving Lives and Decreasing Health Disparities project that was made possible by the efforts of U.S. Representative Gerry Connolly (D-VA) that will play a critical role in addressing the mental health needs of young people in Northern Virginia.

The interdisciplinary Youth Research Council works with Mason’s Early Identification Program to invite students to investigate social issues of their choosing, using the tools of community-based research.
