Established with a foundational grant from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF), the center aims to accelerate global collaboration in under-researched areas of children’s mental health and to expand access to culturally appropriate training, resources, and treatment worldwide. The Center launched its activities in Brazil and South Africa in 2023 and has established local partnerships and initiated groundwork to map existing services and deliver tailored mental health support.

CAMHI aims to enhance child and adolescent mental health care capacity and to help strengthen the infrastructure for the prevention, assessment, and treatment of mental health struggles faced by children and adolescents across Greece.

Our work, through both the SNF Global Center for Child and Adolescent Mental Health at the Child Mind Institute and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Initiative (CAMHI) in Greece, focuses on combatting four of the greatest barriers to care: limited access to evidence-based services, provider shortages, lack of information, and stigma.

We are grateful to the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) for providing generous funding support to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Initiative (CAMHI) and the SNF Global Center for Child and Adolescent Mental Health at the Child Mind Institute programming via its Global Health Initiative (GHI).
