Mission Statement
The Child Mind Institute is dedicated to transforming the lives of children and families struggling with mental health and learning disorders by giving them the help they need to thrive. We're the leading independent nonprofit in children's mental health, operating three Mission Areas: Care, Education and Science. We provide world-class clinical care in our offices in NYC and San Mateo, CA, and bring evidence-based mental health supports to underserved school communities in the surrounding areas. Our public education initiatives provide free, science-based resources on mental health and learning differences to end the misinformation and stigma that cause so many children to miss out on life-changing care. Our research is at the forefront of neuroscience efforts to identify biomarkers of mental illness and learning differences. Our landmark Healthy Brain Network study is collecting the largest dataset on the developing brain and sharing data freely with the scientific community.
About This Cause
Millions of children - as many as 1 in 5 - struggle with mental health or learning challenges. But 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. That's why the Child Mind Institute was created. We've become the leading independent nonprofit in children's mental health by providing gold-standard evidence-based care, delivering educational resources to millions of families each year, training educators in underserved communities, and developing tomorrow's breakthrough treatments. -We have touched the lives of over 2.2 million students, parents, teachers, and mental health professionals nationwide, leading a movement to broaden access to mental health services and resources. -More than three-quarters of the children we have reached across all our programs received free or reduced-cost services. -More than 2 million parents and educators visit childmind.org each month to access credible information about children's mental health and learning challenges. -Our school programs have reached more than 200,000 students through mental health treatment, support groups workshops, and classroom coaching.
