About Us
The Child Mind Institute is a global nonprofit working to transform children’s mental health.
OUR MISSION
Transforming Children's Lives
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.
The Child Mind Institute is dedicated to transforming the lives of children and families experiencing mental health and learning disorders through excellence in science, education, and care. Together, we truly can transform children’s lives.
Our Vision
Every Child Deserves a Healthy Mind and Hopeful Future
Our beliefs shape what we do and how we work change the future of children’s mental health.
