School & Community Programs
at the Child Mind Institute

The team at the Child Mind Institute brings evidence-based mental health care to historically minoritized and marginalized school communities through skill-building programs and direct clinical services for students, professional training for educators and school-based clinicians, and resources that support caregivers.

The right mental health intervention can be transformative for a child who’s struggling. That’s why we meet kids where they are and collaborate with their communities to provide sustainable, effective support.

About the Child Mind Institute

Millions of children – as many as 1 in 5 – struggle with mental health or learning challenges. Fully 70% of U.S. counties do not have a single child and adolescent psychiatrist.

Due to stigma, misinformation, and a lack of access to care, the average time between onset of symptoms and any treatment at all is over 8 years. Our children deserve better.
