N1 - Funding Information:
CCMH grew from the ground up as a grassroots organization built on passion for a vision. This meant many years of shoe-string operations without a budget and the slow and gradual recruitment of counseling centers, researchers, and funding support. CCMH was formally established in 2005 after a year of dialogue among interested colleagues led to conceptual and financial support from the Association of University and College Counseling Center Directors (AUCCCD) to support the creation of a multidisciplinary research center at Penn State University tasked with coordinating interested counseling centers on behalf of the field. Importantly, administrators at Penn State University in both the counseling center and Division of Student Affairs endorsed the project’s goals and permitted the staff member who initiated CCMH to have dedicated time to develop the project. With local and national support in hand, CCMH was able to begin work in earnest.

N2 - This article presents a model of a practice-research network that offers benefits for clinicians working at college and university counseling centers. We briefly describe the basic components of this practice-research network, challenges in developing it, and some of the empirical studies that have resulted from this initiative. We also describe possibilities for future research that not only will foster further collaborations between clinicians and researchers, but also will enhance our ability to understand and improve mental health services for college students.
