About OERP/WPIC
The Office of Education and Regional Programming (OERP) was established by Dr. Thomas Detre in 1974 when he assumed the role of Director of Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic (WPIC) and Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.  The purpose of the OERP has been to link the research, clinical and educational resources of WPIC, as the only Academic Center of Psychiatry in Western Pennsylvania, to the State Mental Hospitals and community mental health programs throughout Western Pennsylvania in order to better serve the mental health needs of children, youth, adults and the aged in this geographic area of 23 counties.

Through the years, the OERP has evolved with WPIC and is dedicated to providing state-of-the-art training and technical assistance to mental health service providers throughout western Pennsylvania and beyond.  Utilizing the knowledge and expertise of Staff and Faculty who are leaders in clinical care and research, the OERP strives to assist providers in achieving and maintaining the highest level of quality standards in the services provided to mental health consumers and family members

The OERP has implemented several approaches to achieve these goals:

Crisis  and Disaster Training Institute

Family Based Mental Health Training Center

Grief Training Institute

Mental Health Conference Planning

WPIC Staff Development
