Child and Adolescent Mental Health Initiative (CAMHI) Inquiries:

Sarah Burke Kontis is the Senior Vice President of National Programs at the Child Mind Institute.

In her role, Sarah is overseeing and expanding the Child Mind Institute’s portfolio of U.S.-based programs, including education and training initiatives, school and community-based programs, U.S. government relations, and partnerships with cities, states, nonprofits, universities, foundations, and corporations. As a key member of the President’s Cabinet, Sarah provides strategic leadership for the Child Mind Institute’s 2030 National Impact Goals, directs the national leadership team, advances cross-divisional collaboration, and serves as a vital liaison to the development team.

As Vice President of Strategic Initiatives at the Child Mind Institute, Sarah oversaw the development, launch, and operation of a nationwide mental health capacity-building program in Greece, the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Initiative (CAMHI). Exclusively supported by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF), as part of SNF’s Global Health Initiative (GHI), CAMHI is implemented in collaboration with a network of public mental health professionals in five hub centers around Greece, with the support of the Hellenic Ministry of Health. Following this transformative grant for Greece, SNF increased their visionary investment in children’s mental health care by establishing the SNF Global Center for Child and Adolescent Mental Health at the Child Mind Institute. These grants represent a new and exciting chapter in the Child Mind Institute’s history; they are the first step in scaling the impact of the Child Mind Institute’s clinical expertise and training model internationally.

As Vice President of Development, Sarah led the Child Mind Institute’s fundraising and development initiatives, expanding revenue streams and partnering with all sectors of the philanthropic community to support the organization’s ambitious goals.

Sarah has demonstrated a personal commitment to transforming lives via strategic philanthropy and program development throughout her career, consulting for organizations such as Operation Smile, The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse, the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, and Orbis International. Sarah began her career in the international development and human rights field, holding positions at Amnesty International USA, International Relief and Development, and the United States Agency for International Development. Sarah earned a Master of Science (MSc) degree in International Relations from the London School of Economics and Political Science and a Bachelor’s (BA) degree in International Relations from American University’s School of International Service.
